MINNEAPOLIS — A man charged Friday with killing a Mendota Heights police officer and firing at others during an eight-hour manhunt allegedly told police, “I hate cops and I’m guilty,” according to court documents.

Brian George Fitch Sr., 39, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of Officer Scott Patrick. Prosecutors say he shot Patrick in the head, leg and abdomen as Patrick approached his car during a traffic stop Wednesday in West St. Paul.

Fitch was also charged with 10 other counts — including attempted murder, drive-by discharge of a firearm, and assault — after a shootout with police in St. Paul. Fitch was shot eight times.

After being taken to a local hospital, Fitch looked at the officer guarding him and said: “Just to let you know, I hate cops and I’m guilty,” according to the charging documents.

Fitch is expected to remain hospitalized for at least another week. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
