The man arrested for fatally shooting eight people in Mississippi confessed to a local news reporter while still in handcuffs Sunday morning, saying he planned to die during the killing spree.
“My intentions was to have God kill me. I ran out of bullets, ” Willie Cory Godbolt told The Clarion-Ledger in an exchange captured on video. “Suicide by cop was my intention.”
Godbolt, 35, allegedly killed the eight victims, including a sheriff’s deputy, at three separate homes in rural Lincoln County on Saturday night.
Sitting on the ground in cuffs after his arrest, Godbolt said the deputy wasn’ t a target — he was speaking with his wife about custody of his kids, and neighbors called the police.
“My pain wasn’ t designed for him. He was just there, ” Godbolt said. “We was talking about me trying to take the children home… somebody called the officer … that’s what they do, they intervene. It cost him his life. I’ m sorry.”
Godbolt said he went on the shooting rampage because he loves his wife, kids and Bogue Chitto — the tiny town around 70 miles from Jackson where they live, the Clarion-Ledger reports.
Three women were shot alongside Deputy William Durr, 36, at 11: 30 p.m., in addition to two juvenile boys at another home, and a man and woman at a third residence, cops said.

Godbolt was also shot, and authorities took him to a local hospital following his arrest.
