More signs of Florida
shooter’s troubled life
By Brendan Farrington
and Juan Carlos Llorca
Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A
man who shot three people at a
Florida State University library
complained to police and proper-
ty managers in New Mexico that
cameras were watching him in his
apartment and that he heard
voices talking about and laughing
at him, accordingto police reports
released Friday.
Myron May walked into the
Las Cruces Police Department in
September to report he was al-
most certain there were cameras
installed in his apartment and
that he could hear voices com-
menting on his activities, a police
report said. For instance, May
told an officer, after a bubble bath
he began applying lotion to his
body and heard voices that said,
“Did you see that? He never puts
lotion on.”
May, a 2005 Florida State
graduate, returned to the school
early Thursday and shot two stu-
dents and a library worker before
reloading his semi-automatic pis-
tol. Police responded within two
minutes and fired off a barrage of
bullets that killed him.
Videos and a journal obtained
by police indicate he thought he
was being watched and targeted
by the government
The first 911 call from the
shooting came from one of the
victims, according to an initial
Tallahassee Police report released
Friday.
The victims are student Elijah
Velez, 18, who was grazed by a
bullet and treated at the scene;
student Farhan Ahmed, 21, who
was in critical condition when ad-
mitted to Tallahassee Memorial
Hospital and is still being treated,
and library employee Nathan
Scott, 30, who was shot in the leg.
Police didn’t say which one called
9U, but there were several more
calls that followed.

entiy also suspected neighbors
were watching him at his Las
Cruces apartment A woman who
shared awall with him had afoot-
ball-sized landscaping rock
thrown at her window at 2 a.m.
on Oct 20. Responding officers
talked to a maintenance man,
who told them May complained
to property managers that neigh-
bors were laughing at him as he
watched pornography.
The officers then matched the
rock to a gap in landscaping rocks
in front of May’s apartment The
maintenance man told them he
took care of May’s dog several
times during his stays at a mental
hospital, according to the report.
That incident happened less
than three weeks before May re-
turned to Wewahitchka, Florida,
where he stayed at a guest cottage
owned by friends.
Authorities Friday were exam-
ining packages May sent to
friends before the Florida State
shooting.

resident and motivational speak-

in Florida State student govern-
ment, said postal inspectors inter-
