A gunman obsessed with mass shootings said he was trying to commit suicide by provoking armed officers into killing him when he ran at them with a pistol, a court heard.
Reed Wischhusen told police he wanted to die when he confronted armed officers at his home holding a handgun The Lidl warehouse worker spent several months in hospital, and it was not until March that he was well enough to be interviewed by detectives, Bristol Crown Court heard. In further interviews the defendant confirmed he had thought about killing himself with a firearm “since he was small”.
The firearm he used on the day of his arrest he had converted to fire live ammunition, which he had done to “get back” at the firearms licensing department that refused his shotgun application, he told police.“He denied any intention to hurt anybody – police, members of the public and people from the past,” Jonathan Rees KC, prosecuting, told the jury.
Jurors heard phase one of Wischhusen’s alleged revenge plan was to kill 10 people using a converted pistol with a silencer while wearing disguised clothing and a wig.
