Jaron Dansie was inside a Salt Lake City shopping mall when 18-year old Sulejmen Talovic entered the building, pulled a gun and started shooting people at random. As he took shelter inside one of the shops on the first floor, Dansie pulled out his video camera.
“What the… What the hell's going on?” Dansie can be heard saying on the video, in between a barrage of loud gunshots. Dansie, a wedding videographer, said that turning his video camera on was not the first thing on his mind. But his actions led to an intense visual record of the tragic events that happened inside the downtown Trolley Square mall during some of its worst moments.
“I heard [a victim] yelling, ‘Stop, stop, please don't shoot… don't shoot.’ And then heard more shots,” he said. Dansie actually made his way out into the hallway before he started recording, but when he heard gunshots in a shop next door, he ran back.
“When I finally walked past the camera and saw it… I thought, ‘I gotta start filming this,” Dansie said. Startled and panicked, Dansie loaded a tape into his camcorder and got into position – partly hunkered down in the store. Moments later, he says a uniformed Salt Lake City Police officer walked in with his gun drawn. Then, an off-duty police officer, Kenneth Hammond, can be heard identifying himself outside. Dansie, however, wasn't going anywhere.
Seconds later on the tape, Hammond joins the officers to search for the gunman. Then, as both officers see Talovic, Hammond turned and ran for cover. For the next several seconds, shotgun blasts and gunfire from police officers can be heard outside -- followed by silence. Talovic, the gunman, was dead – shot by officers.
In all, the tragedy lasted just six minutes.
coming up on H&C next.
I am waiting for a reason for Sulejmen Talovic doing the shooting. Was he on a Jihad?
ping
predictably, that part of the story has vanished from the media - with the exception of michael savage.
In the age of bloggers it cannot disappear completely. MSM
won't start talking about this until this becomes a common event.
"Although he quit school at 16, Sulejman Talovic often attended Friday prayers at the Al-Noor mosque on 700 East in Salt Lake City, said Salih Omerovic, Ajka's cousin. "
(This mosque is one block from the mall where the shooting took place)

The Leftist Media said that the Beltway Snipers did it for profit. How could they have made money from what they were doing? They covered up the truth then and they've done it again. The only profit they did it for was the Prophet Mo-ham-mad. This lone Jihadist was probably acting as an independent agent of the worldwide Islamic Jihad. You don't have to belong to an organized Jihadist group to do your part for the cause. There were Nazi supporters living in the U.S. during WW2 that were not members of the German Nazi party but they engaged in subversive activities on their own in order to further the cause of Nazism.
SLTRIB.com: "TROLLEY SQUARE: SUSPECT RARELY SEEN BY HIS NEIGHBORS A high school drop-out, Talovic's life and motive for the shooting remain a mystery" by Matthew D. LaPlante (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police say the gunman met his first two victims in the parking lot, firing off two rounds as they fell. "Die, motherf-----," Talovic said to them, according to one witness. Talovic appears to have uttered few further words. Witnesses said he moved deliberately through the ground floor corridors, firing round after round at helpless others, sometimes swearing, sometimes ordering his victims not to look at him. In seemingly random fashion, showing no emotion, he slaughtered five people and seriously wounded four others.") (Last updated February 14, 2007, 01:29 AM MST)
DESERET NEWS.com: "6 MINUTES OF HORROR: SHOOTER AIMED TO KILL AS MANY AS HE COULD" by Pat Reavy and Ben Winslow (ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""His intent was to shoot as many people as he possibly could," said Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank. Police released details Tuesday on Talovic's shooting rampage that left five people dead before off-duty Ogden police officer Ken Hammond and four Salt Lake City police officers killed him in "a shootout," Burbank said. Four other shooting victims are hospitalized. Talovic was armed with a shotgun, a .38-caliber handgun and "a backpack full of ammunition," Burbank said. Around the man's waist was a bandolier of shotgun shells. "He had a pump shotgun," said one witness, DeEtta Barta. "He was shooting, and he shot about four shots.") (February 14, 2007)
Well he did yell "Allah Ahkbar" three times.
"ALLAH AKBAR"
Heard 3 times at 1:38-1:40 into the video.
Have you heard the crap that is being said. There wasn't enough resources for him, that these people feel like the don;t belong. The whinning and the crying will I don't feel like I belong in CA anymore but I am not going to go crazy over it.
Interesting missed that on the MSM
They're right. They don't belong.
It would be nice if someone in the MSM would have the guts to say what happened here: namely another Muslim attack on America
The enemy is among us.
"The enemy is among us."
The enemy has the news media scared to death.
"They're right. They don't belong."
Let's replace them with 2000 Iraqis as Bush wants to do.
