Joshua Savyon, 9. The boy was shot to death by his father during a supervised custody visit at a New Hampshire YWCA in August.
A distraught New Hampshire dad who shot his 9-year-old son and then himself during a supervised visit at a YMCA emailed friends hours before and alerted them to the plot, saying he was “insane”” and that he couldn't be stopped.
Muni Savyon, 54, shot his son Joshua six times before turning the gun on himself during a supervised custody visit at the Manchester YMCA on Aug. 11.
His chilling email to friends was part of a report issued by the state attorney general's office on Thursday.
In it, authorities detailed how Savyon and his son, along with a YMCA supervisor, had been together for about 40 minutes at the facility before Savyon drew a pull out a Smith and Wesson 9mm pistol and shot the boy in the back of the head.
The YMCA employee, Michael Solis, said he was looking down taking notes when Savyon opened fire, the Nashua Telegraph newspaper reported.
Solis ran out of the room and yelled for someone to call 911, the reports said.
Savyon then shot the boy five more times before turning the gun on himself.
Muni Savyon, 54, was distraught over a bitter custody battle with the boy's mother. He shot Joshua six times before turning the gun on himself.
Hours before the killing, he detailed the plot in a dire email to friends, written mostly in Hebrew, the report said.
"There's one important thing you should know: There was nothing that you, or anyone close to me, could have done to prevent the tragedy," Savyon wrote.
"Do you need to know why I did this? Never mind. The man is insane."
He also said his actions were payback to the boy's mother, Becky Ranes, for taking custody of him.
The two, who were not married, had been involved in a bitter custody dispute.
Ranes told investigators that in March 2012 Savyon told her he'd "snapped" and warned her that he owned a gun.
"It will be you or it will be me and Joshua," Ranes said he told her. "You will see it on the news."

Emergency vehicles outside the Manchester YWCA on Aug.11. Investigators said Savyon had made threats to the boy and his mother before.
In his email on the day of the shooting, Savyon wrote, "And now she will be left alone with the terrible sadness that her only son has been taken from her, a sadness that I am very familiar with."
Meanwhile, the Manchester YMCA is coming under scrutiny for not using a handheld metal detector on Savyon, as they had in the past.
Employees admitted they'd become "loose" on the policy since security guards that used to enforce it were let go due to funding cuts, the report said.
One worker told investigators staffers weren't sure what they would do if they caught someone with a gun.
Savyon was born in Israel but became a naturalized U.S. citizen. He lived in Manchester and worked as a software engineer.
The Manchester YMCA has not commented on the murder-suicide.

This POS was not insane, he was evil. He wanted custody and when he didn't get it he murdered his own son. Not one, shot. Not two shots. Six damn times he shot that poor boy. He was evil and full of hate.
