Jessica Baty, Girlfriend of NIU Shooter, Received Call Prior to Massacre

In a recent interview with CNN the girlfriend of NIU shooter Steven Kazmierczak revealed that he had contacted her on Valentine’s Day and asked her “not to forget about him.”

 

Jessica Baty told CNN that Kazmierczak called her early last Thursday and appeared calm and gave no hint of what was to come. It would be several hours later that Kazmierczak would walk into a Northern Illinois University lecture hall and open fire on students, killing five before taking his own life.

 

In her interview Baty said “The person I knew was not the one who went into Cole Hall and did that. He was anything but a monster. He was probably the nicest, (most) caring person ever.”

 

On Friday, one day after the shooting, Baty received a package from Kazmierczak that contained two textbooks, a cell phone, and an apparent good-bye note.

 

In that note Kazmierczak said “You've done so much for me. You will make an excellent psychologist and social worker someday.”
