FedEx Shooter’s Suicide Note: ‘I Want to Hurt People’
"This is my own doing. I'm a sociopath." - Geddy Kramer
Cobb police on Friday released the suicide note from Geddy Kramer, the 19-year-old FedEx employee who opened fire on co-workers on April 29 at a plant facility in Kennesaw.
The five-page, scribbled note has left investigators with even more questions than answers as to why the Acworth man decided to attack that early morning.
“I’m a sociopath. I want to hurt people. ... This is not anyone’s fault but mine,” Kramer wrote.

The North Cobb High School graduate doesn’t blame others for his actions, “This was the result of my own issues: mental instability, depression, frustration, sexual isolation,” he wrote.
None of the six people Kramer shot before killing himself died, although a 28-year-old security guard was wounded critically and has endured numerous surgeries since the attack.

As the shooter explained, part of his intent was to make a name for himself: "Maybe a part of this is also the fact that a life lived in infamy is better than just another nobody.”
