Finnish Mall Shot Up, Shooter Commits Suicide

Via my friend Jose Guardia comes news that a man walked into a mall in Finland's second largest city and killed four shoppers.

His body, and body of his wife, were later found:

Police say they found a body in the apartment of the suspected gunman, identified as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli.

His ex-wife has also been found dead in an apartment in Espoo, raising the total dead including the gunman to six.

According to Yle, Shkupolli used a 9-millimeter caliber hand gun.

Hundreds of people in the mall were panicked by the shots, witnesses said.

It wouldn't be surprising if Shkupolli murdered his wife over some sort of domestic dispute, decided that his life was over, and went to the mall to ruin as many lives as possible before returning to his apartment to commit suicide to avoid the consequences of his actions. Like many mass shooters, Shkupolli took the coward's way out.

People will not doubt focus on the fact that Shkupoli's first name is Ibrahim, and wonder if this was yet another case of a Muslim going on jihad. I suppose that is possible, but it doesn't seem likely based upon early reports.
