Jiverly Wong, the Vietnamese immigrant who killed 13 people before taking his own life in Binghamton, upstate New York, on Friday, mailed a letter to a TV station the day of the massacre, local media reported Monday.

Wong wrote in rambling English that the police had harassed him for 18 years, even spreading rumors about him and touching him in his sleep.

“Many time from 1990 to 1997 at the day time cop would exploit unknown English and went to my house knock the door for harass,” New York local TV channel NY1 quoted the letter.

The letter was mailed, along with Wong’s driver’s license, his gun permit, and several photos of himself, to News 10 Now in Syracuse, the fifth largest city in New York State, hours before Wong walked into the American Civic Association and opened fire in one of the worst massacres in the state’s history.

The materials were released by the news channel Monday.

The two-page handwritten letter begins: “I am Jiverly Wong shooting the people.”

The letter was dated March 18, more than two weeks before the shooting. It ends with him saying he can’t “accept my poor life,” that he is taking on the job of a judge and will “cut my poor life.” He writes “at least two people with me go to return to the dust of the earth.”

Police speculated Wong was angry over losing a job and frustrated about his poor English skills.

Associates say Wong was sensitive about his English language skills, says NY1.

The shootings occurred at the American Civic Association, where Wong had taken English classes until the first week of March.

Wong’s family is “very sorry for all the victims and their families,” his sister said in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show Monday morning, according to the Associated Press.
