School shooter left his mom a goodbye note telling of his plans to kill
The gunman who killed 10 people in a school shooting rampage in Austria had left his mother a goodbye note and video, police have revealed. In the video he told his mother of his plans to carry out the gun attack at his former school, but unfortunately, she didn't see it in time to warn the authorities. In the video, he says goodbye to his parents, but a police spokesperson said 'no motive can be inferred from the farewell letter, and that is a matter for further investigations.'
