Salt Lake City Gunman Identified-- and Guess What?
2007-02-13
The 18-year-old man who shot and killed at least five people Monday night at Trolley Square has been identified as Sulejmen Talovic, a Bosnian refugee who lived in Salt Lake City.
"Bosnian refugee", eh? Christian? Jew? Bhuddist? Zoroastrian? Wiccan? Which is it????
As trailing wife notes in a duplicate post, "So we can hope it wasn't Sudden Jihad Syndrome. But hope is not certainty."
Little additional information was released about Talovic. The Bosnian community, which numbers about 3,000 in Utah, planned a news conference later this afternoon.

Talovic parked his car in the west parking lot and walked into the mall, encountering two people, whom he shot. Then he walked further into the mall and shot a woman, said Police Chief Chris Burbank. He then walked to a gift shop and shot five people. He shot several other people before he was gunned down by an off-duty Ogden police officer assisted by four Salt Lake City police officers, Burbank said.

He had a backpack that carried numerous rounds of ammunition as well as a .38-caliber handgun, said the chief. Police have no motive in the killing.
Of course not. We couldn't possibly imagine, could we?
I think he was unhappy the Colts won the Super Bowl. That has to be it.
