So there was this murderer loose in the north of England over the past week, and last night, this guy shot himself after being surrounded by police. anyway, what do you think of this guy and why he went on a killing spree?
Considering that you seem to be underinformed and misinformed, allow me to add to the info. Suspect's name was Raoul Moat. It all began when he was admitted in January for assault and battery for 6 months. At this point, his girlfriend Samantha broke up with him, and told him that she was seeing a police officer, in an effort to protect herself due to his admision for assault, fearing herself as a target for his aggression. This caused him to develop a personal vendetta against the Police Force. He was released, and then three days later, he shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend (with whon he'd had a child) and fatally shot her boyfriend, twice in the body, and once in the head with a shotgun. He then paid a visit to an old friend of his to deliver a 49-page confession to his acts, explaining a lot about his mental state, why he did it, et cetera. He said that "the public need not fear me, but the police should, because I will not stop killing them until I am dead." He also showed that he was well aware that he was mentally unsound, however, everything had been taken from him, in his own words, by the police. This friend submitted the confession to the police, who began a full-on manhunt for Moat. Moat also shot an on-duty police officer, who is currently in hospital. He was eventually found on a riverbank, pointed a sawn-off shotgun to his neck, according to eyewitnesses. Almost immediately he was surrounded by armed police, and so begins the 6-hour standoff. This culminates with Moat shooting himself, and he eventually dies in hospital as soon as he is transported there. Recent reports show that within the final few moments, a tazer was discharged, and there's currently an investigation into whether or not this contributed to Moat's death. That's pretty much everything of interest. As far as it being a "Killing Spree" goes, he shot three people, and only one of them was killed in it. Hell, he even custom altered his rounds so that there would not kill the girlfriend, only wound/scar her. I'm not sure how this would qualify as a killing spree. A "Killing Spree" is what happened a month or so ago when a northern man killed about 10-12 people, wounding a total of about 30. There, now feel free to judge with a tad better information of the facts.
according to eyewittnesses? they got photo and video footage of him with the shotgun so you dont need eyewitnesses to prove it was a sawn-off shotgun
