May 9, Denver Post – (Connecticut) Writings reveal a grudge. The suspect accused of gunning down a Wesleyan University junior in a cafe near campus in Middletown, Connecticut on May 6 wrote that he had a grudge against Jews and “beautiful,” “smart” Wesleyan students, but most of all, he had a grudge against the 21-year-old junior. He wrote in a notebook police found in his car. On a page in the notebook dated May 6, the day of the shooting, he wrote: “I think it OK to kill Jews, and go on a killing spree at this school.” The suspect, a Colorado resident during much of this decade, was arraigned May 8 in Superior Court in Middletown. A judge raised his bail to $15 million. The new revelations about the suspect were contained in the warrant for his arrest. The suspect surrendered May 7 to Meriden police after a manhunt that began shortly after the student was gunned down. The suspect’s attorney said the suspect plans to plead not guilty and never made an effort to target anyone on the campus. According to WFSB 3 Hartford, the student was working at the Red and Black Cafe inside Broad Street Books.
