A Georgia teenager says that less than an hour before Patrick Sharp tried to set off a massacre outside the McKinney police headquarters, he contacted her online.
"Killers like to share their thoughts, seek attention," read a message the girl says Sharp sent her Tuesday morning on Facebook.
"I like to scare people. I enjoy watching people beg for their life. I like watching them drown. When they take their last breath, oh it's amazing."
The short letter the girl shared with The Dallas Morning News is the first glimpse into what might have led Sharp to try to commit mass ******.
In it, he didn't mention McKinney police or whom he planned to ******, but he told the girl he might have mental health issues.
"I have alot of [stuff] wrong with me, but didn't seek help," he told the girl, who is not being identified. "I don't take meds."
Police say the 29-year-old Anna man lit his pickup truck on fire around 9 a.m. in an apparent attempt to lure people out of the building. Attached to the truck was a trailer packed with wood chips, roadside flares, gasoline and ammonium nitrate fertilizer, the type used in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. Heat from the fire set off ammunition left in the truck but failed to ignite the explosives.
