Excerpt from the letter:
“I really don’t know much about weapons. I do know what a Mossberg is though. When I got arrested I had five guns. The handgun was a 22. I think I had two double barrel 12 gauges and two 22’s. So I had 2 shotguns, 2 rifles, and a handgun. I wasn’t targeting anyone. I don’t remember what happened very well. Most people who saw me said I look like I’m someone else. My sister even didn’t recognize me till she saw the clothes. They said I was taller and just had an empty stare. The people who got shot that day I all knew. They were all decent people. The actual shooting only lasted a short bit, but I don’t really remember it. Over the years I’ve heard so many different versions of what happened that even my vague recollection is even more scattered. I don’t remember what’s real and what’s delusion and what’s all other peoples’ perception. It’s all a clusterfuck of memories.”
