Planned Parenthood Shooting: Suspected gunman says he did not plan the attack

By

Planned Parenthood shooter Robert Lewis Dear admitted in a phone interview that the attack on the clinic was not planned. The clinic shooting, according to him, was a "spur of the moment "action and with that, he even called him "warrior of the babies".

According to the exclusive interview on CBS Denver, Dear admitted that he was guilty but he never planned the attack on the clinic. He called the station from the El Paso County Jail and CBS4 Investigator Rick Sellinger was able to talk to him about the November 27 events.

"It wasn't planned, as far as that goes. It was just a spur of the moment that... okay. They wanted, they wanted to slay, to come for me, they wanted to start a war and so that's why I did it," said Dear.

Dear also admitted that he has some troubles with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He said that his troubles with the agency started 22 years ago when he complained on the radio about the FBI at the siege in Waco, Texas.

According to ABC News, Dear targeted the reproductive health organization because it's "murdering little babies". He also believed that the FBI agents were following him the morning of November 27 and that they tipped off the clinic employees that he was headed there.

"Well, when I got there, of course, those guys knew I was armed, knew everything about me. They slither off like snakes and they get the local cops to do their dirty work, so that's why the shootout was there," he said.

FBI spokeswoman Deborah Sherman declined to comment on Dear's accusations, citing a gag order in the case.

Meanwhile, in a report from Business Insider, Dear's attorney Daniel King raised doubts on his client's mental condition after his repeated outbursts during court appearances. But Dear said in the interview that he is sane and coherent and is just an honest man.

Dear has been charged with 179 counts of crimes including first-degree murder, attempted murder and assault in the attack that killed three people and injured nine.
