Before a man went on a shooting rampage inside a Detroit police station, he kidnapped and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl who escaped hours before the police attack, authorities confirmed Sunday.
Investigators say police had surrounded Moore's empty house while they were waiting for a search warrant to enter the home. At the same time, Moore walked into the precinct and started his shooting rampage, they said.
Lamar Deshea Moore, 38, who was mortally wounded by police, wounded four officers January 23.
Police say Moore kidnapped the runaway girl about 10 days before, police Sgt. Eren Stephens told CNN.
Moore's motive for the attack is not known. He had a relative who was scheduled to be sentenced for double homicide, Police Chief Ralph Godbee said last week.
Moore held the girl against her will in the basement of his home, said Stephens, adding the victim also was handcuffed to a toilet. The unidentified girl escaped in her underwear hours before Moore's attack, police said.
"She was still wearing the handcuffs" when she rushed to a neighborhood resident who contacted police, Stephens said.
"The assault case is closed," said the spokeswoman. "She was kidnapped, held hostage, sexually assaulted and escaped."ORIGINAL SOURCE
