Shawn Munns, 34, was shot outside Trolley Square mall as Sulejman Talovic headed in. Hit in the back, Munns got up and ran to alert others. "I just feel really lucky," he said more than a week later at home in Clinton. He was the first survivor to leave a hospital.

Sixteen-year-old Alan "A.J." Walker and his father, Jeffrey Walker, 52, also were shot outside the mall. Jeffrey Walker was fatally wounded.
A.J., shot in the head, underwent brain surgery at University Hospital, and while it is unknown whether his brain suffered permanent injury, his ability to move and speak is improving.
"He's putting his whole heart into his recovery," a family spokesman said when the Bingham High School student went home March 1.
At Jeffrey Walker's funeral in South Jordan, friend Tracy Mower said, "Jeff's legacy is love, compassion, faith, hope, service, unconditional caring and love and love and love."
------
Vanessa Quinn, 29, of Sandy, was fatally shot outside Bath & Body Works. She had planned to meet her husband of four years, Richard Quinn, to belatedly choose wedding rings.
"I just hope she knows how many people loved her and how many lives she made better," Richard Quinn said days after her death.
------
A severely injured Carolyn Tuft, 44, crawled toward her dying daughter, Kirsten Hinckley, 15, after both were shot in the mall's Cabin Fever card shop. Tuft said Talovic met her eyes, shot her in the right arm and lung, then went away, but inexplicably returned to shoot her in the back.
Finally released from LDS Hospital, Tuft last week buried her daughter, a sunny Brighton High School student who had dreamed of studying architecture in London. Tuft's goal now is to get the most out of every day.
Kirsten would "want us to be happy," Tuft said in the hospital, "to use this experience to help other people."
------
Teresa Ellis, 29, and Brad Frantz, 24, also were fatally shot while shopping together in the card shop.
Ellis, originally from New York, worked at the Chase Bank branch in West Valley City. Family and friends at her funeral described her as compassionate and sharing.
"The best way to remember her," her bank supervisor said, "is to take a little more time to show others we care."
Frantz, who had an "infectious" smile and loved the outdoors, worked for Eagle Precast, a concrete company in West Valley City. His greatest love was his 3-year-old daughter, Deijah Isabel O'Neill.
"You could see the absolute pride and astonishment for him to know that this wonderful little girl was his," said Frantz's uncle, Scott Lunt.
------
Stacy Hanson, 50, is in fair condition at University Hospital, the last survivor still hospitalized. Shot in the abdomen, shoulder and lower back, he is paralyzed from the waist down. He had asked Talovic not to shoot him, he said the week after the shooting. "I told him that I had a wife and kids, and that everyone in here just wanted to go home to their families."
Sudden Jihad Syndrome bump.

I've been busy the last few weeks, but haven't heard or seen anything about the Trolley Square shooting at all. Was thinking back to Columbine when all the details about the boys, their families, friends, etc. were being covered every hour by every media by every angle.
May God have mercy on the victims.
Just another disgruntled yute. We need more gun control laws to prevent this from happening again!
/s
These poor people. I was wondering if the press would ever get around to talking about the victims. They just disappeared right after it happened, as though our innocent, sweet, misunderstood Muslim terrorist had shot a bunch of paper targets.
And those who defended his actions or excused them can join him in hell.
I only hope that the ingrate Muslim would-be Jihadist warrior who did this RIP (Rots In Pieces). Remember, Islam was Hitler's favorite religion.
Good point.
If this is the way it's gonna be, then the jihadis (sudden or otherwise) and their kin had best leave.
Semper Fi,
Islam was Hitler's favorite religion??? Can you please elaborate?
No doubt the murdering Muslim took it out on the card shop patrons because they were inside shopping for Valentines...and we know how upset Muslims get when anyone talks about love and happiness. What a scourge they are on the face of the earth!
***Islam was Hitler's favorite religion??? Can you please elaborate?****
Maybe not his favorite. His favorite would be self worship.
But look at this... http://www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com/amin_en.html

Islamic-World-Domination
This thinking influenced the Final Solution! that Hitler tried to implement during WWII. Not commonly reported is the fact that Hitler had close connections to the Islamic world through the Imam of Jerusalem. A major portion of Hitlers military was headed by Muslims. The Holocaust takes on a rather different twist when we consider this connection! Why would there be need for a Final Solution? Why would annihilating the Jews be a Final Solution? What was the Jewish question? Hitler feared the Jews had plans to take over the world! The solution? Rid the world of all Jews. Prevent them from producing the Messiah! Where did he get this idea from? Not from his own head, but from Islam! Hitler was not insane! Hitler was indoctrinated! Did Hitler embrace Islam? Not entirely, but Islam influenced his world-view.
The Ottoman Empire of Islam had been slowly but surely taking over Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and had designs on taking over Russia and Western Europe. World War I halted the Islamic quest for world domination in its tracks, but it was not completely knocked out. Although most of the territory administered by the Ottoman Empire was taken over by the British during the course of World War I, the Islamic ideology was not dealt a death-blow, but went underground. By the time Hitler arose on the scene, the Islamic goals were well on the way to regrouping. Hitlers Mein Kampf, and the forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, gained popularity throughout eastern, then western Europe, and prepared the groundwork for Hitlers Holocaust Final Solution to the Jewish question. World War II dealt a decisive blow to Hitlers regime, and won a great victory for freedom. However, the sinister ideologies behind Nazism, Fascism, and Islam were not annihilated. Hitler tried to deal with the nations head-on, army to army. His strategy did not work! What we are now witnessing, and experiencing, is a third wave of a bid for Islamic dominance, but this time, it is not taking the form of huge armies fighting other huge armies, instead, the war is being waged in a manner that is sinister, diabolical, and underhanded. There are no clearly identifiable enemy troops. Rather, the tact this time is to subvert, infiltrate, and from a clandestine position, gain ground through terror tactics. In essence, the world is now fighting World War III, but we havent recognized it yet!
The Islamic connection has again reared its head, and interestingly is being fed again by Hitlers Mein Kampf, and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which are best sellers in Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, and other Islamic nations. So, is Nazism dead? Absolutely not!!
Unfortunately, it was not killed along with the soldiers of World War II, but rather is reviving again in the form of the terrorists, and the Neo-Nazis, most of whom also are Muslims! The Nazi/ Muslim connection is still alive and very strong! Unfortunately, most western world leaders fail to recognize the threat for what it is, but are resting in the shadow of the World War II victory, not realizing the monster was only knocked unconscious, not eliminated! In fact, most do not want to positively identify the Islamic connection!
