| No Motive Found for Utah Mall Gunman
He didn't know his victims. He wasn't influenced by violent video games. Terrorism wasn't a factor. The young Bosnian immigrant who killed five people at a shopping mall nearly a year ago was a shy loner who uttered just two words during a random shooting spree that ended with his death in a storm of police gunfire. Salt Lake City police released their investigation of the rampage at the Trolley Square mall Tuesday, leaving unknown a motive for Sulejman Talovic's massacre two nights before Valentine's Day 2007. "None of the people interviewed believed the violent act ... could have been predicted," the report said. "All who were interviewed, including his family, were shocked and devastated by Talovic's actions." Wearing a bandolier of ammunition under his trench coat, Talovic, 18, fired his shotgun at least 29 times that night as he killed five people and wounded four more.

The Archdiocese of Hartford agreed this week to pay $550,000 to a man who accused the Rev. Stephen Foley of using his position as Hartford County fire chaplain to sodomize him when he was a 14-year-old parishioner in Windsor Locks. Foley, who has been accused of abuse by at least 11 men since 1993 and was removed from public ministry in 2002, is still affiliated with the county fire organization he belonged to when the alleged assault occurred. He now holds the title of "chaplain emeritus" of the group, according to board members... The current president of the group is Windsor Locks Fire Chief Gary Ruggiero. Haber said Ruggiero sent an e-mail to the board of directors Friday criticizing the newspaper for publishing a story last Sunday that exposed Foley's continued use of a police-equipped Crown Victoria with flashing lights, sirens and scanners... abuse took place on a weekend when the boy and his friend accompanied Foley to a home on Cape Cod, which Foley said was owned by his aunt, the brief said.
