That’s the chilling admission police say Stanley Casimir made to a 911 dispatcher.
He was calling from the parking lot of a grocery store near his apartment.
Just down the road neighbors had called after hearing gunshots outside.
“There’s a woman down here right now. It looks like she’s bleeding,” a 911 caller said.
As police rushed to the apartment and that grocery store parking lot Casimir was still on the phone with dispatchers.
“We just going to have some fun before I kill myself. That’s it,” he told dispatchers.

The dispatcher asks him what that means.
“I don’t know. I have no idea. Alright, bye,” he replies.
He hung up as some Springfield police officers pulled up to him in the store’s parking lot.
“He took off. They attempted a stop. There was a brief pursuit,” Sgt. James Byron with Springfield police said.
Byron said the chase went south on US-68 until it ended at State Route 41.
Casimir crashed there after police said he shot himself while he was driving.
He had told dispatchers he and his girlfriend, Rodline Anacreon, were arguing on New Year’s Eve and she kicked him out of their apartment.
In the 911 call, he said he came back on New Year’s Day and shot and killed her.
Casimir also told dispatchers the couple had twin babies together.
He said the 5-month-old boys were inside the apartment with his girlfriend’s mom when the shooting happened.
Casimir is in the hospital in critical condition.
