(CNN) -- An Alabama man who went on a shooting rampage in March, killing 10 people and himself, left a note saying he put his mother "out of her misery" and that "some of the people who made us suffer will pay," according to newly released police records.The shooter, Michael McLendon, killed his mother before killing nine others in several towns.
"Moma was very sick. Had lung cancer, I think," stated the letter police say was written by Michael McLendon.
"She wanted to die with her dogs and she did. I shot her while she was asleep. She never knew what hit her. Nor did the dogs. I'm sorry! But Moma had suffered enough. And so have I."
The letter, found in a relative's mailbox, was released earlier this week, along with a 25-page police summary and other documents. Police said they have no doubt the handwriting was McLendon's.
The 28-year-old Marine Corps and police academy washout shot his mother to death March 10 in Kinston, Alabama, then went on an hourlong rampage in neighboring Samson and Geneva.
