The gunman who killed five girls in an attack on a Pennsylvania Amish school told his wife he had molested two young members of his family 20 years ago. Charles Carl Roberts, 32, made the confession in a phone call to his wife just before he started shooting the girls. "He said 'I am not coming home', and he states 'I molested some minor family members that were three and four-years-old 20 years ago'," Pennsylvania police commissioner Jeffrey Miller said of Roberts' call to his wife, as cited by the BBC. He also made references to an incident 20 years ago in suicide notes and said he had been haunted by dreams of repeating his actions. Police said it was possible his attack on the girls was sexually motivated.
