Walmart mass shooter Andre Bing penned a rambling “Death Note,” through which he complained that his co-workers were “idiots” who he was indignant with for comparing him to a notorious cannibal serial killer, officials revealed Friday.
“They laughed at me and said that I used to be like Jeffrey Dahmer … Sorry everyone but I didn’t plan this I promise things just fell in place like I used to be led by the Devil,” Bing wrote before slaughtering six of his colleagues within the break room in the beginning of their night shift Tuesday.
Dahmer was a notorious loner who murdered 17 young men — a few of whom he tried to show into sex zombies, and a few whom he ate body parts of. He was killed in prison in 1994.
Police in Chesapeake, Virginia, released Bing’s redacted screed which was discovered during a forensic evaluation of the suspect’s phone after his massacre, after which he took his own life.
Officials also revealed loner Bing, who had no prior criminal history, legally purchased the murder weapon, a 9mm handgun, on the morning of the rampage.
In his chilling manifesto, Bing, 31, apologized for what he was about to do — while blaming others for mocking him.
“My true intent was never to murder anyone consider it or not, I used to be actually one of the loving people on the earth in the event you would get to know me.”
“My only wish would have been to begin over from scratch and that my parents would have paid closer attention to my social deficit,” Bing wrote.
He wrote of sensing a “demonic aura” in a female colleague, and at the identical time blamed his co-worker for never taking the time to get to know him.
In a single passage, the 31-year-old regretted not finding a wife that will share in his obsessiveness, writing: “I just wanted a wife that was equally yoked as I and obsessed over thought; nevertheless, I didn’t deserve a wife.”
Bing revealed his plan to spare certainly one of his colleagues apparently battling cancer, saying: “I even have a special place in my heart for her because my mother died from cancer.”
He concluded the letter with the words: “My God forgive me for what I’m going to do…”
Meanwhile a Facebook post from 2017 has come to light suggesting that at Bing had a history of mental illness.
In Sept. 2017, the gunman’s brother, Pervis Bing, wrote in a standing update: “my brother was battling paranoid schizophrenia around this time and life was kinda dark…”
The brother’s comment appears to coincide with what Bing had written in his “Death Note” about his mental state: “I failed my management team and everybody that ever loved me by convincing them I used to be normal.”
Also on Friday, police in Chesapeake finally released the name of the 16-year-old boy who was killed in Tuesday’s rampage, identifying him as Fernando Chavez-Barron, of Chesapeake.
Other victims were previously identified as 38-year-old Brian Pendleton; 52-year-old Kellie Pyle; 43-year-old Lorenzo Gamble; 70-year-old Randy Belvins, and 22-year-old Tyneka Johnson.
Police said Bing, who worked as an evening shift manager, entered the Chesapeake Walmart’s break room just before 10:15 p.m. Tuesday and opened fire on employees who were on the point of start work.
One co-worker who survived the shooting said Bing appeared to goal people and fired at some victims after they were already hit and gave the impression to be dead.
“The best way he was acting — he was going hunting,” Jessica Wilczewski said. “The best way he was people’s faces and the way in which he did what he did, he was picking people out.”
Some who worked with Bing said he had a fame for being an aggressive, if not hostile, supervisor, who once admitted to having “anger issues.” But he also could make people laugh and gave the impression to be coping with the everyday stresses at work that many individuals endure.
