Durn's handcuffs and failed to stop him before he rushed to the nearby window.
During a day of interrogation,
Durn told police he often "thought about killing someone and killing himself afterward".

Durn's self-loathing also came out in the 22-page rant that one police investigator described as "depressive babbling".
The letter, received a day after
Durn gunned down councillors in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, said: "I will end my life but first, I'm going to be a serial killer."
