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.

Other articles reporting about how the killer was emotionless as he randomly gunned down anyone in his path.

Look for this story to suddenly disappear from the news pretty quickly, now that we know a little more about the killer.

The 18-year-old man
That needs correcting.
"...The 18-year-old MURDERER..."
That's much better.

His religion will never be identified in the MSM media.

Was he yelling "Allah Ackbar" or was he just another disaffected youth? Don't think we will ever know that one.

The expression on his face never changed.
Not as he walked into the crowded mall. Not as he began to fire.
"He wasn't yelling or saying anything. He was just loading his gun and blasting away," said Trolley Square mall employee Jaron Dansie, who was among scores to witness the worst mass killing in Utah in recent memory.
All told, the killer slaughtered five people Tuesday evening and seriously injured at least four others.

One person with a legal gun could have ended that sooner, rather than later.

Suleiman is the Muslim version of Solomon.
Solejman is the Bosnian spelling of that name. Muslim.
The letter "j" is sounded like the letter "y" in Slavic languages.
