Leftist Trump hysteria has reached new and frightening new levels.

A man in upstate New York shot and killed a UPS driver in an Ithaca Wal-Mart parking lot, then ran over his body – all because he believed he was killing President-Elect Donald Trump.

The suspect, who was identified as 38-year-old Justin Barkley managed to get away for a short distance before he was found by police and stopped.

At 1:52 a.m. early Thursday, officers responded to a report of a shooting outside the Walmart on Fairgrounds Memorial Parkway. The victim, later identified as William Scumacher of Candor, N.Y., was a 52-year-old UPS driver. He was found dead in the parking lot and Barkley fled the scene.

“The officers merged behind the vehicle and attempted to stop it on Route 13 near the intersection of Route 366. The vehicle refused to stop and continued for approximately another 1/4 mile and pulled into a driveway. The suspect exited the vehicle with a long gun and shot at police officers as he fled towards the area believed to be his residence,” according to the Ithaca Police Department.

After hours of trying to communicate with the suspect, police said around 10 a.m. that Justin Barkley, 38, was taken into custody after he surrendered.

Apparently completely mentally deranged, when brought into court, he still believed he killed the future president:

Justin Barkley, 38, stood before Judge John Rowley and said he knew where President-elect Donald Trump would be on Dec 8. He then waited for him outside of a Walmart where he said he allegedly killed him, according to the Ithaca Voice.

“I shot and killed Donald Trump purposely, intentionally and very proudly,” Barkley said during his arraignment.

Barkley was indicted for second-degree murder and menacing a police officer.

Barkley also told the court that he recognized the difference between mistaking a person for Trump and saying that he killed him. Asked whether any evidence could suggest that he killed a person that was not Trump, he answered, “I hope not.”

He tried to enter a guilty plea, but Judge Rowley denied it after he made the Trump allegations.
