Police say William Spengler, 62, shot at firefighters responding to the scene. Two other firefighters were wounded in the shootout.
Police found a typed note at the scene, but have only released one line to the public.
From The Washington Post:
He [the police spokesperson] declined to reveal the note’s full content or say where it was found. He read only one chilling line: “I still have to get ready to see how much of the neighborhood I can burn down, and do what I like doing best, killing people.”
Police also found a body inside Spengler's burnt-down home, believed to be 67-year-old Cheryl Spengler, the killer's sister.
Previously, Spengler had served 17 years in prison for killing his grandmother. He was not allowed to own firearms.
