A police report was released over the death of Mark Fischbach. His brother, Sean Fischbach, was killed a few weeks ago being shot it the back. Mark wrote a note shortly before his death. The note read:
“Send help. Someone is in my house and they are trying to find me. Send help. He has a gun. Send help. He’s in my kitchen shooting and breaking plates. I’m scared. Send help. I’m locked in my office waiting for someone to help me. Send help. I hear knocks on my wall and gunshots. I can’t run and grab my hunting rifle from my room. Send help. I’m locked in my office.

I shot at him during the fight. I left after that. I remember that. After I shot at him.
Did you miss? Yes, I think I did.

How long has it been? 5 days 6 hours 37 minutes and 52 seconds, or 126 hours, or 7,597 minutes, or 455,872 seconds.
I didn’t kill him. Did I? I forgot. No I hit him. It didn’t kill him. Or did I hit him? Arm? Leg? No, it was stomach. Chest? I couldn’t have killed him if I shot his chest. There are bones there. I’m crazy. The creaks grow louder. I finish my email as I open the door to my office. I take the gun and point it to myself.
I don’t think I killed Sean. Someone else did. Someone else killed me too. I wonder if it was the same person...
