WONDER LAKE, Ill. (AP) - The girlfriend of the man who killed
five people and himself at Northern Illinois University says he
called the day of the shooting to say goodbye.
Jessica Baty told CNN that Steven Kazmierczak
called her early on Valentine's Day and told her
not to forget about him.
Baty says she had no indication he was planning anything.
She describes Kazmierczak as a nice and caring person who "was
anything but a monster."
The day of the shooting or the day after, Baty received two
packages from Kazmierczak. One contained two textbooks, a cell
phone and what she characterized as a "goodbye note."
The other package had a gun holster and ammunition.
She confirmed that he'd stopped taking an anti-depressant
because it made him "feel like a zombie."
