A man accused of shooting his roommates in a New Tampa apartment told police he shared neo-Nazi beliefs with the two men until he converted to Islam then killed them because they disrespected his faith.
Devon Arthurs told investigators he shot Jeremy Himmelman, 22, and Andrew Oneschuk, 18, because he had become angry about the world's anti-Muslim sentiment and "wanted to bring attention to his cause," according to a Tampa Police Department report obtained Monday by the Tampa Bay Times.
Arthurs made references "Allah Mohammed" as officers walked him to a patrol car.
"I had to do it," he said, according to the report. "This wouldn't have had to happen if your country didn't bomb my country."
