Court records show Klaff Jr. asked viewers which person he should shoot as he was walking around the store. As he walked past an elderly man, he was heard saying, 'I ain't going to kill no old a-- man.' Klaff Jr. continued to walk around the store, showing the gun to viewers. 'I'm going out with a bang,' he said. The suspect then said 'I see one' multiple times as he approached the store's bakery section, court documents show.
When police interviewed Klaff Jr., he asked if anyone died, court records show. Detectives asked if he was searching for a particular person to shoot, to which Klaff Jr. said he did not want to shoot anyone old. He then asked how many people he had shot. Klaff Jr. told police he chose the people he shot at because they were standing in a position with no cover.
He also told police he 'always wanted to kill someone.' 'That's all I wanted to do, I was supposed to go to the military,' Klaff Jr. said. 'I couldn't wait on that, obviously.' Klaff Jr. is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
