Andre Bing, 31, shot his co-workers. “I didn’t plan this, but things fell into place like I was possessed by Satan,” he said.
The young man who murdered six people last Tuesday in a Walmart in Virginia, United States, left a message before committing suicide with the gun he had bought earlier that day. In the note, he apologized and complained about his coworkers.
“I’m sorry I failed you, God. This was not your fault but mine. I was bullied by idiots with low intelligence and lack of vision. I have been just as guilty and have failed my team and everyone who ever loved me by convincing them that I was normal,” confessed Andre Bing, 31, who was a manager at that supermarket.
In the note written on his cell phone, which was found by the Chesapeake Police and later released by the media, he made it clear that his employees were going to suffer the “same fate” because they made fun of him.
“My real intention was never to kill anyone.. My only wish would have been to start from scratch and that my parents would have paid more attention to my social deficiencies. I am sorry. I didn’t plan this but things fell into place like I was possessed by Satan. May God forgive me what I’m going to do, “she completed.
According to ABC, he had no criminal record and bought a 9mm pistol legally hours before the shooting. The Police were alerted to the events at 10:12 p.m. (local time) on Tuesday, when the Walmart supermarket was still open.
Some employees quoted by the chain pointed out that he was a difficult person. Jessica Wilczewski, one of the survivors, said the workers were in the warehouse about to start the night shift when Bing walked in and opened fire on them.
