MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — In the last 10 days of his life, German Sanabria told his family that someone was trying to kill him.

It turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A Bridgeton police officer fatally shot the 26-year-old Iraq war veteran Wednesday morning after being unable to stop the man as police say he stabbed his stepfather repeatedly with a steak knife.

A relative said that Sanabria came back a different, harder man when he returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq about a year ago.

But it was only after he watched the Super Bowl at a club in Vineland on Feb. 3 that he seemed deeply paranoid and suicidal, said Celia Ray, a cousin of Sanabria’s mother who lives nearby.
