Utah police shot the gunman, Sulejman Talovic, 18, to death after Monday's rampage in Salt Lake City.
"I saw it on TV and I heard a brave policeman killed the shooter. Not in my wildest dreams could I have presumed Sulejman killed those people. When I heard his name, I fell from the sofa," said Redzo Talovic, 59, a cousin of the gunman.
"What got into him? This is what we are all asking ourselves. We are all in shock," he said.
There were no signs that the 18-year-old was in trouble, family members told the Salt Lake Tribune. "No, he was very good," said his uncle, Sadik Omerovic. "He never, never [hurt anyone]. He was very nice person."
Sulejman Talovic quit school at 16, but had continued to attend Friday prayers at a Salt Lake City mosque until December, when he got a job under pressure from his father.
With patches on bullet holes and flowers still left as memorials, Trolley Square reopened Wednesday, less than 48 hours after a deadly shooting spree, to curious and supportive shoppers.
A mall executive said the opening was intended to "let the healing begin," although it was up to each shop whether to do business.
Wedding videographer Jason Dansie grabbed his camera when the shooting began.
"One of the images that will be burned in my mind is seeing him loading his weapon," Dansie told Cristina Flores of CBS station KUTV-TV (video). "It was just unvelievable."
The rampage lasted "maybe 5 minutes if that, but it was an eternity of fear," Dansie said.
Talovic's relatives recounted the difficulties the family went through when the war broke out in Bosnia in 1992 — and remembered the smiling little boy who was just 3 when the fighting began.
Relatives said their village, Talovici in northeast Bosnia, fell to Serb forces soon after the war began. "For a whole year, we were besieged and bombed day and night. We couldn't stick our noses out of the house," Redzo Talovic recalled.
In 1993, Sulejman and his mother fled to the nearby northeastern enclave of Srebrenica, living there briefly before being evacuated by the U.N., relatives said. The boy's father joined them in Tuzla in 1995 before they moved to Zagreb, Croatia, eventually becoming Croatian citizens.
The family emigrated to the U.S. in 1998, U.S. immigration officials said.
In 1995, Serb forces loyal to late ex-Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic slaughtered some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica — Europe's worst massacre of civilians since World War II.

No they havent. Are you forgetting Oklahoma City, and, also the una-bomber? And Columbine? And others?
Flat statements like that are dangerous to your credibility. You're just another wacko who jumps out of his/her skin if a 'Muslim sneezes' but turns the 'other cheek' if a non-Muslim goes nuts and kills.
Don't forget all the abortion clinic bombings conducted by "fundamentalist" Christians.
How about we hold all parents responsible when their kids commit crime? Your kid commits a crime, you do the time. Lose your home; lose your job.
Sure would make this country a lot safer.

This has nothing to do with Serbians and Bosnians. This is a troubled child like so many others that go into schools and start shooting. Only God and the killer know why they did this!

Was he the devil? LOL
After sending Americans to slaughter Iraqis and turning countless into refugees, our lunatic leaders are taking in more and more Iraqis who were also affected by our wasteful war over there.
So, Americans, look out for more of maniac muslim terror being imported to the US malls by our ever self-destructive and lunatic leaders.

The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

Save your hypothetical situations and diversionary tactics for later, little one.

Not that the people calling for this condemnation ever listen to it - they don't really care about it. There's been plenty, even a fatwa against Osama BinLaden from muslim leaders - but you haven't bothered to read it - have you?
or was he taught evil?
the media needs to ask itself what are the ramifications of their perpetual violence teaching. if a religion teaches violence they need to be held accountable also. this is a very sad case. that family has been through the meat grinder for years.his mama said he was a good boy. i believed her. what happened?

MUDSCUM CLERIC TEACHES KIDS ABOUT MARTYRDOM
"Egyptian Cleric Sheik Muhammad Nassar Tells a Group of Children about Child Martyrdom in the Early Days of Islam
Following are excerpts from a children's program hosted by Egyptian cleric, Sheik Muhammad Nassar, which aired on Al-Nas TV on June 15, 2006. Sheik Nassar is identified by Al-Nas TV as a preacher at the Egyptian ministry of religious endowment:
Sheik Muhammad Nassar: Let's listen to a very beautiful story to learn about the courage of a child, and how, when a child is brought up in a good home, and receives proper education in faith, he loves martyrdom, which becomes like an instinct for him. He can never give it up."

8Lord, you can smile about all this secrecy because you know their plans.
9I have confidence in you, Lord, in your power and strength. You are my only refuge, my only hope.10I know you love me and that you will come to my rescue as you have in the past....
Did someone set this kid up? was he taught evil? who needs to be questioned?
4.Man has been bitten by the serpent....in turn, he bites and poisons others; his instincts are as deaf to reason as snakes who can't hear. 5 A snake charmer can't reason with his cobra when it rears its heard to strike; no magician can make it go contrary to its nature.6O Lord, break the sharp teeth of these unjust men before they hurt someone else. Close the fangs of these lions, O Lord!"
What have you done to stop terrorism, other than talk about all Muslims in such a way as to make those heros doubt their actions?
This kid - looks a lot like any other mall shooter - just plain nuts. The Florida guy wasn't a muslim, the philly guy wasn't a muslim - let's face it, sometimes people of all types go nuts and start shooting. I wouldn't put it on any religion or church until we know more about the motive.
