The father of Trolley Square shooter Sulejmen Talovic apologizes over and over for the ordeal. Suljo Talovic says no one who knew his son saw this coming, and he believes someone pushed him to do it.
Suljo Talovic doesn't know where his son got the guns or how he learned how to use them.
Suljo Talovic, Father of Shooter: "Somebody got (the guns)…and maybe (they were) training him and tell(ing) him (to), ‘go shoot somebody.'"
Question: So you think that somebody influenced him maybe to do this?
Suljo Talovic: "Yeah. I think somebody."
Talovic says the tragedy is taking a toll on his family.
Repeatedly, in a lengthy interview with KSL Newsradio, Talovic expressed the sentiment that someone trained and pushed his son to kill. He apologizes for the ordeal, saying it makes him feel horrible, like killing himself.

yeah...allah did.....
No!
You mean that somebody his son had confidence in? Somebody who may have shared his son's devotion to Allah?
I'm shocked! SHOCKED! S-H-O-C-K-E-D!
Freakin' delusional........get a grip dad, your son is a killer, plain and simple, no one pushed him, his body was not snatched and replaced with a killer, his brain was not captured and forced to make bad choices........ungh, I give up,,,,
BS.
I don't know why but I believe him.
Well, his brain is still available for autopsy. If he had a serious mental illness, it should be fairly obvious.
This man is trying to say something. Someone and someone "trained" and "go shoot somebody". Is he implicating the imam at the SLC mosque? The cops and the FBI should really talk to this man, who has lost his son. Lest we forget.
Prayers for the innocents and their families.
Mad Mo made me do it.
Could it possibly the gutter religion.. Islam???
Islam is not a religion, It is a ideology based on world domination masquerading as a religion.
No other religion requires total submission or death. Islam does.!
ISLAM IS TERRORISM BY IT'S VERY NATURE
Let's play that new game show: "Name that Imam!"
Can you say "Imam"? I knew you could!
Soooo... out of 6 million Muslims, we probably got 500,000 of these time-bombs walking our streets.
Someone at the friendly neighborhood mosque, maybe.
Yet further rejection of personal responsibility.
Bravo. Sierra.
Maybe something he read ... like in the Koran?
It wasn't allah, it was an islamic demon.
Naaaaa, the local mosque is a place of worship and fellowship. No hate there “nut’in but love” just love.
Yeah. Good luck with that story!
Any if someone else told his Son to jump off a bridge...
If Muslims ever start thinking for themselves, they might actually have a chance to join the 21st century.
The Assyrian, Chaldean Christians belong here. (sorry:)

Somebody needs to take these "parents" out back....
I believe him too. Strongly agree determined investigation is needed not a blanket statement by FBI that terrorism wasn't involved. Give the proof it isn't, FBI!
I hope the families of those killed will raise such a stink about the inadequate investigation so far until somebody goes and gets his computer, tracks his trail to the local mosque, and finds out what mags and books he's been reading. INVESTIGATE.
Like the Oklahoma City individual who blew himself up outside the football stadium - we may never know the truth. Sick and maddening.
I did the math... If each one takes out six of us, that is THREE MILLION AMERICANS MURDERED!
I think its a worthwhile question. Was there an Imam at his Mosque that filled his head with Jihadisms?
There was a story yesterday about an Imam at a local mosque in SLC that had been sacked a few weeks ago because he was under investigation for domestic violence. I don't mean to be unduly stereotyping... but I will... there can't be that many mosques in SLC.

The deposed Imam was probably very predictably angry at the United States for allowing his wife to express any dissatisfaction with him, in the form of a police report for some islamicly-required beating that she no doubt had to endure.
If this same Imam was tight with this kid, and expressed any muslim-oriented tilt to the troubles he was currently handling, it might go a long way toward explaining why this clearly "troubled" kid suddenly decided to strike out at his local shopping mall.
Agree.
That's the underlying sense of what I believe the father is trying to say. The who and why of that someone should be investigated.
But the kid couldn't have thought of it himself? He was 18. Kids can get ideas of their own. I don't doubt there was outside influence but the father's just trying to get the blame off the kid. The kid could have said NO.
Gee, people, the father is grief-stricken and searching for answers. Of course he feels something happened - we all would. It takes a while to accept the unacceptable.
Its possible that his son got in with a Middle-Eastern Muzzie crowd in a Mosque, and if that happened what his father is alluding to would make perfect sense.
You've got to recall that Bosnian "Moslems" are THE most non-religious Moslems anywhere. But if this young kid got brainwashed at a 'Sunni-type' mosque, its quite possible that influence may have had something to do with it.
I am sure that his family feels horrible over this ordeal - if they are like most immigrants from the Balkans they are grateful for the opportunity to start anew after what they experienced.
The ROP strikes again!
Yes it was any and all muslims. That was who did it.
The kid didn't perform his correct toilet ritual and was taken over by a Jinn.
(No, really, look it up)
Well put.
Perhaps the dumb shit should read his Koran.....the instructions to murder are there "Writ big"...and CLEAR.
Islam is a murderous death cult....not a religion that prepares folks to live a peaceful productive and moral life.
Islam is the enemy.....
Semper Fi
I disagree...
No Muslim should be surprised that a young person whose head has been filled with the shit of Islam -- behaves like a murderous little shit.
Semper Fi
"Allah" is the Chief demon, that Old Dragon, The Serpent; Abaddon, Apollyon, SATAN.
That's what I was thinking, too. Putting myself in this dad's shoes, his son just ended his own life by this action. All the hopes and dreams a father has for his son. For the rest of his life he will have to live with this. How would you feel?
I am assuming that the dad is an honorable, decent man and he is genuinely heartsick.
Ok, daddy...make up for it...here, take this backpack, and this rental van down to the nearest mosque......
and this is probably a hate crime,
A hate crime against American citizens by muslim extremists.
It is ok to stereotype. When you know who you enemy truly is.
"Wonder if this guy was his role model?"

In reading the article, I see he's currently taking refuge in Chicago...wonderful. I'll be walking around with my head on a swivel.
"If this same Imam was tight with this kid, and expressed any muslim-oriented tilt to the troubles he was currently handling, it might go a long way toward explaining why this clearly "troubled" kid suddenly decided to strike out at his local shopping mall."
...very good point. And it may explain why he bolted for Chicago shortly before this happened.
"The kid didn't perform his correct toilet ritual and was taken over by a Jinn."
I had no idea what you were talking about, so I did indeed look it up...WTF?!? I fell into an odd forum asking questions about what to do regarding bathroom activities, a guy who saw a huge spider in the bathroom and thought it was a Jinn, took pictures of it, and feared it possessing him...
...the saying rings true, "You learn something new every day." Some things way more ridiculous than others.
