As he left court, Taheri-azar told reporters, "the truth is my lawyer." When asked if he was trying to kill people, he said yes.
Also on Monday, authorities released the ![]()
911 call that Taheri-azar made shortly after Friday's incident.
In the call, he tells the 911 operator that the police could go and pick him up at the corner of Hillview and Plant roads, where he is waiting outside the vehicle.
"You can come arrest me," Taheri-azar said.
He also tells the operator that he thinks he may have hit 15 people and that his reason for doing so was to "punish the government of the United States for [its] actions around the world." He goes on to say that more of why he did it was in a letter on his bed inside his apartment.
