An employee at a Lowe’s near Scranton, Pennsylvania, walked up to a co-worker on a forklift and shot him dead, cops allege.

Before the incident, Christopher Wasnetsky, 36, emailed the human resources department, expressing that he would not have resorted to killing his coworker Jeffrey Moeller if his earlier grievances against him had been addressed. This information is detailed in a criminal complaint reported by local ABC affiliate WNEP and the Scranton Times-Tribune.

Wasnetsky stands accused of first- and third-degree murder in Moeller’s death.

Authorities in Scranton arrived at the Lowe’s on Viewmont Drive at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Saturday. They discovered 44-year-old Moeller lying in a pool of blood, having sustained two gunshot wounds to the head and one to the back, as the complaint outlines. Moeller was transported by paramedics to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Cops apparently didn’t have to wait long for a confession. After shooting Moeller, Wasnetsky is said to have called 911.

“I’d like to report a shooting at Dickson City Lowe’s,” he allegedly told a dispatcher. “I was the person that did it.”

When the dispatcher asked why he pulled the trigger, Wasnetsky reportedly said it had to do with “months of harassment and other things.” The store manager later told detectives they looked into Wasnetsky’s complaints but found no evidence to back them up, according to the complaint.

Wasnetsky reiterated his beef with Moeller when talking to detectives.

“He said the victim, Jeff, had been harassing him over a period of time, and no one would do anything about it,” police reportedly wrote in the affidavit.

He allegedly said he brought a handgun with him to work and planned on shooting Moller before turning the weapon on himself. Wasnetsky reportedly told cops he had practiced shooting the gun in his backyard.
