John has a dog named Wolfy. He runs across the room and knocks over John's mother's favorite vase. Five minutes later, John's mother calls John, and the dialog below takes place between them.
John's mother: "How are you, John?"
John: "I'm fine, but there's something I need to tell you."
John's mother: "What is it?"
Then John says one of the sentences below to his mother (the vase is still lying on the floor when he says this).
1. Wolfy has run across the room and knocked over your favorite vase.
2. Wolfy ran across the room and has knocked over your favorite vase.
3. Wolfy ran across the room and knocked over your favorite vase.
Are the above sentences correct in the context given? I'm wondering about the tenses in bold. Thanks in advance.
