I saw this on the AP wire, again, this morning at work. Interesting. I wonder if it was intended to be a suicide rampage and he just forgot to save one for himself?
AP-NY--Mall Shooting
Police say Mall shooting suspect left notes in car and house
KINGSTON, N.Y. (AP) - Police say the 25-year-old accused of firing about 60 rounds at a crowded mall earlier this week left notes in his car and house that were intended to be read after the shooting.
Robert Bonelli is accused of spraying assault weapon fire through the Hudson Valley Mall on Sunday afternoon, injuring two people before surrendering. Prosecutors say Bonelli was fascinated by the fatal Columbine school shootings and kept memorabilia about the 1999 killings.
Ulster Police Chief Paul Watzka would not divulge the contents of the notes Bonelli left.
Watzka says Bonelli bought the ammunition he used in the shootings about an hour before using it at a Wal-Mart store next to the mall.
The chief says the semi-automatic rifle used in the shooting was not altered to fire automatically and was legally purchased at a gun show in Ulster County in October.
The case against Bonelli will go to a grand jury within the next few weeks and a decision is expected within 45 days. He is currently in custody at the Ulster County Jail.
