...apparently posts goodbyes on Facebook before getting shot.

A man suspected of abducting and sexually assaulting a Central Michigan University student posted a final goodbye a few hours later on his Facebook page shortly before an officer fatally shot him, authorities said Friday.

"Well folks, I'm about to get shot. Peace," was 30-year-old Eric Ramsey's last post to his Facebook wall around 3:15 a.m. Thursday, Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski told CNN in a telephone interview.

Ramsey had abducted the student from CMU's campus about 2.5 hours northwest of Detroit on Wednesday evening, then drove her to a home where he bound and sexually assaulted her...

After the attack, Ramsey put the woman back in the car, grabbed two cans of gasoline and began driving again, it said. When he told the woman he was going to kill her, she jumped from the car and ran to a nearby residence, where she knocked on the door and yelled for help, the release said.
A 14-year-old boy let her in and, after hearing her story, locked the woman, his younger sister and himself in the bathroom...

As the woman was calling police, Ramsey poured gasoline on the house and set it afire before fleeing, the sheriff said.
Shortly thereafter, the children's father returned home and doused the fire, which caused no serious damage...

Police soon caught up with Ramsey, who led them on a chase through two counties, during which he rammed a state police trooper's car, stole a sanitation truck and rammed two more vehicles, police said.

A couple of hours later, after hitting a deputy's car head-on, Ramsey posted his final words, the sheriff said. Soon after, he was fatally shot by a deputy.

Completely bizarre. I have to assume there is more to this story.

Perfect opportunity to #Yolo, and he didn't.

I'm glad the woman got away at least. Jesus, what a sick person.

Perfect opportunity to #Yolo, and he didn't.

Probably 'cos you're not trying. I know I'm not.

 

[Jenov]

14 year old hero, good riddance to the criminal

 

[DY_nasty]

Why, Pimp?

 

[The Living Tribunal]

Give the kid a medal.

 

[dekline]

Great. Now they're going to blame video games.

 

[BronsonLee]

14 year old hero, good riddance to the criminal

Yeah, smart damn kid. Good on him for everything he did.

This dude is pure evil, though. Sexual assault, attempted murder, attempted arson? Good lord.

 

[feel]

Props for the kid who let the screaming stranger into his house effectively saving her life, instead of panicking and shutting her out.

 

[Darkman M]

14 year old hero, good riddance to the criminal

Agreed on all fronts, less garbage in the streets.

 

[cheststrongwell]

Dude brought a bb gun to a gun fight.

 

[equap]

why wasn't she carrying a gun to protect herself?

 

[Deified Data]

Later days, scum.

 

[MormaPope]

Dude sort of deserved it.

 

[bjb]

Guy was pure evil. Glad the son of a bitch is dead.

why wasn't she carrying a gun to protect herself?

She should have been. Probably will be now. Rightfully so.

 

[EulaCapra]

Revenge house fire? Jesus.

Good for him thankfully dying 21st Century style though.

 

[Kuroyume]

Pepper spray could do as good a job.

 

[cheststrongwell]

Cops should have flash banged him.

 

[jon bones]

Going by the responses here I guess I'm a bad person for finding it pretty funny

you are a bad person, yes

also creepy

 

[victreeb3l]

lol pimp.

seriously though, that must have been some scary ass shit for the girl. if a girl came knocking on my door that late at night begging to be let in, i honestly wouldnt allow her. id just call the cops instead or something. the kids lucky the sick fuck didnt completely burn their house down.

 

[lamaroo]

I'm really curious what his friends and family posted in response, and if any of them liked his post.

 

[Loomba]

Hard to feel bad for him.

Are we supposed to? guy was scum.

Yeah, it's scary as hell when someone is crying for help outside your door. Happened to me a few years ago at 2:00 in the morning. Turned out my fat neighbor just fell through the porch.

 

[JDSN]

Awesome kid for letting the woman in, if this was in other place some cunt would have shot her at his doorstep while screaming "CASTLE DOCTRINE MOTHERFUCKER!"

No, you're not a bad person but there is something seriously wrong with you. You need to see a psychiatrist.

 

[Mileena]

I'll look into it

 

[out0v0rder]

mentally ill?

 

[GeoramA]

Good riddance.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Perfect opportunity to #Yolo, and he didn't.

LMAO, GAF never disappoints.

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

Good thing he was stupid. He really would have killed that girl (and perhaps) had he played out his plans out in his head since he already decided he was probably going to die at some point by his brazen behavior.

 

[speculawyer]

That's some GTA shit right there.

Yeah, as soon as I read that he stole a sanitation truck that was all I could think.

 

[Bombadil]

This guy had friends?

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

The 14 year old kid should get a medal.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

This guy had friends?

Did they "Like" his status I wonder......

 

[BankaiZaraki]

Well thats one way to go out.

 

[SimonA]

That could have been me!
