#1 The first name "Sulejman" appears to be a fairly common Bosnian Muslim name. I assume it must be a variant of the name Suleiman as in Suleiman the Magnificent.

#2 And of course Suleiman is a modified form of Solomon, just as Daoud derives from David. Life is an iron.

#4 When I heard trench coat, i figured Columbine copycat, or wannabee.

Could still be that. Or could be junior jihadi. Or could be something else.

#5 Could be. Probably isn't.
Never know now unless he left a note.
I am inclined to think ad hoc jihadist.

#6 Let me take a wild guess: a Serbian (Greek orthodox) or a Croat (catholic) boy wouldn't be called Suleiman.

#7 I think he was unhappy the Colts won the Super Bowl. That has to be it.

I'm pretty pissed about it, too. The Pats were so freakin' close...

#8 Was he looking for Allan's snackbar in the food court?

Someone must have heard.
