Breakups, prison time and a reference to white supremacy: Arnold cop shooter shared his life online

Chad Klahs openly documented his troubled life for all of his Facebook friends to see.

He posted about breakups, prison time, and meetings with a parole officer. He referenced a drug overdose and white supremacy.

On Nov. 3, his final word on one account, he posted an animated image that shows him breaking up into tiny pieces and dissolving. "This is hour I feel," he wrote, with a typo.

Two friends replied, asking if he was OK. No response.

Klahs, arrested Tuesday for burglary, killed himself in the back of a police SUV after shooting and critically wounding an Arnold police officer.
