Killer ‘told me not to forget him’

THE girlfriend of the man who killed five people and himself at Northern Illinois University said on Sunday that he called her early on Valentine’s Day, the day of the shooting, to say goodbye.

Steven Kazmierczak “called me at midnight and told me not to forget about him”, said Jessica Baty, 28. She had no indication he was planning anything.

Investigators still have not determined why Kazmierczak, 27, opened fire in a lecture hall at his and Ms Baty’s alma mater.
