MERIDEN, Conn. -- The arrest warrant in the case of a man suspected of shooting a 21-year-old Wesleyan University student earlier in the week offered insight Friday into the events leading up to, and following, the crime.

Stephen Morgan, 29, appeared before a judge on Friday, the day after he called Meriden police from the Cumberland Farms on Old Colony Road to turn himself in as a suspect in the fatal shooting of Johanna Justin-Jinich.

Morgan is accused of wearing a disguise to the campus bookstore where Justin-Jinich worked and shooting her multiple times at point-blank range on Wednesday afternoon.

The arrest warrant affidavit states that after the shots were fired, a manager in the bookstore's basement near a conveyor belt "saw a white male do a somersault and then jump off the conveyor belt. This white male then approached ... while pointing a silver and black handgun at him'" and "said ... 'Don't say anything or I'll shoot.'"

The suspect then fled, the warrant states.

The affidavit also mentions a discussion police had with Morgan's father, James, the day after the shooting. In the affidavit, James Morgan described his son as a loner who recently decided to move from his Marblehead, Mass., home to Rhode Island.

When he showed the officer his son's room, the warrant states, "Among the items left behind in the room was a full box of independence .9 mm ammunition and an empty handgun holster."

The Morgans refused to comment after the hearing.

Police said that after the shooting, it's believed that Morgan hitchhiked from the scene to a movie theater a few blocks away and stayed for a while in the abandoned building before heading to Meriden, where he walked around most of the afternoon.

During the nationwide search for Morgan that began after the shooting and ended at a Meriden Cumberland Farms Thursday night, police said they found his personal journal.

According to the arrest warrant, Morgan wrote an entry in the journal that read, "Kill Johanna. She must die."

The warrant also states that Morgan, a former Navy sailor, also wrote in the journal, "I think it okay to kill Jews, and go on a killing spree at this school." Police said Morgan wrote that he hoped to make Wesleyan "the Jewish Columbine."

The warrant states that Morgan's father described his son as a loner who was known to make anti-Semitic comments.

Morgan's Bond Raised At Arraignment

Morgan was brought to Middletown Superior Court and driven into the garage, emerging from the vehicle under the cover of a blue blanket.

Attorney Richard Brown told Judge Mary Margaret Burgdorff in court Friday that he was contacted late Thursday night to represent Morgan. He said he only had about 15 minutes to talk with his client.

After the hearing, Brown offered his thoughts on why Morgan voluntarily turned himself in.

"His family had put a plea out for him to turn himself in, and I can only say that they put the plea out, and within hours he decided to voluntarily turn himself in, which I think was to the benefit of not only him, but to the police, so that there was not a dangerous situation created," he said.

Brown said Morgan will plead not guilty later in the month, dismissing any notion that his could be a death penalty case.

"My position is that he cannot face capital felony charges because he does not fit within the strict guidelines used in that particular section," he said. "That is, specific aggravating factors, such as multiple deaths, sexual assaults."

Beyond raising Morgan’s bond from $10 to $15 million, Burgdorff ordered that Morgan turn over his passport should he make bond because he poses a flight risk.

Morgan turned himself in to police after 9 p.m. Thursday amid a national manhunt for him. He called police from a Cumberland Farms on Old Colony Road in Meriden hours after his family in Marblehead, Mass., pleaded for him to turn himself in "to avoid further bloodshed."

Police said they believe the gunman's original plan may have been foiled. They said the information they found indicated he planned to take off his disguise and leave in a car parked out back, but that police arrived sooner than expected.

Sources said it's believed that Morgan instead walked out and tried to blend into the crowd. They said police even asked if he'd seen anything.

New York University officials said Morgan and Justin-Jinich attended the same 2007 summer course at the university. They said while both were enrolled at the school, Justin-Jinich filed a complaint against Morgan, accusing him of sending harassing e-mails. She later decided to stop pursuing the charges.
