DENVER — Court documents outline how far a former Denver paramedic was allegedly willing to go to get even with supervisors, who he blamed, for the loss of his job.

Police arrested 38-year old Matthew Mann on April 11, after threats he allegedly made on Facebook led to a partial lockdown at Denver Health Medical Center.

The affidavit for a search warrant indicates that Mann posted a message that read, “Going sniper on anyone wearing bars” [referring to a Lieutenant’s collar insignia]. Mann worked as a paramedic at Denver Health from 2004 to 2012. He told police that his superiors blamed him for an ambulance crash and that they believed he was careless and reckless. He said he was facing termination, so he chose to resign.
