The 18-year-old man who shot and killed at least five people Monday night at Trolley Square has been identified as Solejman Talovic, a Bosnian refugee who lived in Salt Lake City.
Little additional information was released about Talovic.
The Bosnian community, which numbers about 3,000 in Utah, planned a press 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.

There are plenty of non Muslim animals in this country. This is not the first mass shooting in a public place.

Police have no motive in the killing. Gotcha.
Although, to be fair, 18-year-old men regularly go postal for other reasons than religion.

This is why my wife and I NEVER, EVER leave the house without being armed. Even if it's to the local market.
A CCP holder would have been in the clear to kill this active shooter and could have stopped him after the first victim.

Don't the authorities normally respond that citizens, even when heroic, and not encouraged to interfere? It always seems like the thank you is somewhat tongue in cheek with a bit of scolding. That is my point of view.

"I believe Solejman is the name we know as Solomon."
Its also named for Sulejman (the Magnificent) the Turkish Ottoman Emperor whose troops ruled the Balkans for 500 years (for which we have the legacy of these "hybrid" Slav-Moslems).

"I believe Solejman is the name we know as Solomon."
yes and no. It's actually spelled sUlejman -- apparently an intentional misspelling by the media --- and is more commonly known as Suliman --- from Turkey.
It's one of the most common Bosnian Muslim names, such as "Sulejman Tihic, leader of Bosnia's Muslim Party of Democratic Action (SDA)"
