Shooting Suspect: I Was Fighting 'Alien Clones'

[MrRant 0]

LEXINGTON, Ky.  — A suspected gunman who told a reporter he was battling "alien clones" during a 6-hour standoff at his home was charged Saturday in the deaths of his wife and a female firefighter.

 

Patrick Hutchinson (search), 45, surrendered Friday night, hours after fire and police crews converged on his house in southeast Lexington following a report that a woman had been shot.

 

At one point during the standoff, a reporter from the Lexington Herald-Leader accidentally called Hutchinson while trying to reach his neighbors, officials said. An editor alerted police, who asked the reporter to end the call.

 

The reporter said Hutchinson made doomsday proclamations, calling the standoff "Armageddon" and rambling about the CIA and a conspiracy.

 

"We're going against the evil alien clones," the Herald-Leader reported Hutchinson as saying in its Saturday editions. "I started with my wife."

 

His wife, Elizabeth Fontaine Hutchinson (search), 60, died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Fayette County coroner's office.

 

Hutchinson also faces attempted murder and assault charges, and was being held at the Fayette County jail. Police have not commented on his mental status.

 

The other victim, 40-year-old Brenda Cowan (search), was the first black woman to join the Lexington Fire Department and was promoted to lieutenant last month.

 

Firefighters came under fire when they approached the house, Lexington Police Chief Anthany Beatty said. Police stayed in contact with Hutchinson via telephone.

 

"It was a very difficult negotiation," Capt. Barry Cecil said. "It went up and down all night long."

 

After hours of negotiations, police cut the power to Hutchinson's house, and then blasted chemical agents into the building.

 

Jim Sandford, another firefighter who was shot, was in fair condition Saturday at the University of Kentucky Medical Center (search). Another firefighter and a police officer also suffered minor injuries.

Well there's a person that'll never see the light of day again outside a room with barred windows and/or padded walls.

 

I, for one, would shoot him off into space armed with a nail-laden 2x4 as our first line of defense against the alien menace.

Wait till I or Rob pull the interview from Fark. Some reporter actually called the guy while this was happening.

"We're going against the evil alien clones. ... I started with my wife."

 

Pat Hutchinson said he shot his wife, Fontaine, in the head yesterday because she, like most of the other people on the planet, had been taken over by alien clones.

 

About 4:30 p.m. -- about an hour after the shooting was reported -- the Herald-Leader accidentally reached Hutchinson by telephone. The shooting was first thought to be at a nearby house, and reporters were calling neighbors.

 

Once the reporter realized she had the suspect on the line, she kept him talking while an editor called police.

 

The conversation continued while the editor was put on hold. When an officer returned to the line and asked the Herald-Leader to end the call with Hutchinson, the reporter did.

 

Soon after, the reporter relayed the contents of the interview to police.

 

Hutchinson, 45, described the situation:

 

"I shot my wife, shot the paramedics, I shot at a cop but I think I missed him."

 

Asked whether his wife of 13 years, was alive, he said: "I don't know, and I don't care."

 

Hutchinson was barricaded at 8645 Adams Lane with Fontaine, 60.

 

"We can sit here a long time," he said.

 

He spoke calmly, but rambled, talking not only about clones but also about UFOs, aliens, cobras, "panther-lions," the CIA and a vast conspiracy.

 

As he watched police surround his house, he said he had "several" guns and was prepared to use them on anyone who made it past his "cobras and panther-lions."

 

"Me and God's creatures -- we're going to do the best we can with what we got to work with," Hutchinson said. "These police officers and these folks -- I got a feeling they're getting ready to die."

 

Asked to start at the beginning, he said, "At the end of World War II, a UFO crash-landed near the Russian border. ..."

 

Aliens "possess the upper echelons of our administration. There's only 735 true humans left in Lexington, less than 3 million left worldwide," he said.

 

Asked for the reason behind the shootings, Hutchinson said:

 

"A cobra came up to me on the farm and gave me a stick and said, 'God told me to give this to you.'"

 

"I control the tribe of the stick, about 250 panther-lions, thousands of cobras, " Hutchinson said.

 

He said that there would soon be other attacks.

 

"All hell's getting ready to break loose all over the place," he said. "It's Armageddon."

 

He denied that he had mental problems: "You think, 'this guy's a nut.' I'm not a nut."

"Hmm.. sounds plausible"

"Hmm.. sounds plausible"

I'm sure Bob Packwood would agree.

Someone has seen "They Live" one too many times.

[SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0]

I don't even care if the damn thing is real. I just laughed out loud atleast three times during that article. For now, I'll pretend its real, I know alot of fuckers like that guy(Well okay, I know one). But hey, thats excellent.

[Guest Cerebus]

Was this guy a scientologist?

[Guest BDC]

This whole thing went down about 20 min. north of me. The kicker? The guy's stepdaughter has publically stated that she believes that the entire "alien clones crazy man" statement is all an act.

 

But then again, why should people's reactions to something coming out of my state not surprise me...

[Guest Sagrada3099]

This actually happened about 5min. away from me, as I go to the University of Kentucky. The kicker? My German TA from last semester's roomate is this guy's nephew. We hand to find this out on a night when we were all rather inebriated...it sucked.
