Anti-cop letter labeled ‘Doomed’ found at the scene of deadly ambush on police

Police found an envelope labeled “Doomed” with an anti-police note inside at the scene of a deadly shooting rampage in Philadelphia Friday night.

The gunman ambushed an officer sitting in her police car, firing off 18 rounds and hitting her eight times before taking off to continue a shooting spree that injured four others and left a civilian woman dead. Police identified the gunman as 25-year-old Nicholas Glenn, a black man familiar to local police with 16 prior arrests, including one on charges of gang-rape that were later dropped.

The “rambling” note inside the envelope found at the scene details hatred for police and names a specific parole officer, reports ABC News. “This rambling suggests that he clearly was trying to target a police officer, as he did … so it just kind of makes it very clear to us what he was out there to do,” Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told reporters at a press conference Saturday.

“He was hell-bent on hurting a lot of people,” Ross added.

After opening fire on Sgt. Sylvia Young, Glenn ran off and fired into a bar, hitting a security guard in the leg, and then took a nearby woman as a human shield, shooting her in the leg also. Glenn continued to flee, and opened fire on a car with a man and woman inside, killing the unidentified woman and putting the man into critical condition.

Two Philadelphia police officers and a University of Pennsylvania police officer then chased him into an alley, where the university officer was wounded and Glenn was fatally shot. Young was wearing a bullet-proof vest, and survived the rampage by leaning into the passenger seat of her car.
