Trolley Square Shooter Mom has Heart Attack
Talovic's Body to go back to Bosnia
The body of Sulejman Talovic - who shot nine people at Trolley Square, killing five - has been released to his family. The Talovic family is preparing to transport the body to Bosnia-Herzegovina for burial, his aunt said Friday.
Ajka Omerovic said her family is trying to complete paperwork to facilitate the overseas burial. She said the body, which is in a mortuary, will be transported "hopefully next week."
Talovic's family, who were forced from their hometown in 1993 at the height of the Bosnian war, emigrated to the United States in the late 1990s. The gunman's father, Suljo Talovic, has said he wants to bury his only son in Tuzla, which is Bosnia's most ethnically diverse city.
About mom:
Suljo Talovic said he and his wife are still trying to cope with Monday's events. He said his wife, Sabira, suffered a heart attack about 5 a.m. Tuesday, three hours after police informed them their son was the Trolley Square shooter.
Friday night was spent at the Al Noor mosque:
Friday, Suljo Talovic sat on his feet among about 90 other Muslim men and boys from Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, Afghanistan and other countries as Tariq Kergaye, an Iraqi member of the mosque, offered a sermon that touched on the tragedy. Kergaye called the shooting "a low point for us Muslims."
How about a low point for us AMERICANS, Tariq??????
I wonder what else Sulieman looked up on the school computer? Jihadi Chat rooms?
And KSL-Radio reported Friday that Talovic violated school rules when he looked up AK-47s on the Internet in November 2004, after which he dropped out of school and went to work to help support his family. Talovic apparently had no close friends and lacked a social support network.
Oh BTW, Dad, appears to have a good support system:
Though Suljo Talovic is a regular at the Al-Noor mosque, other regulars said they didn't know Sulejman Talovic.
Also, according to this Dad was a member of the Bosnian Muslim Army.
