Muslim Immigrant Opens Fire – Kills 5 in Finnish Mall

A Muslim immigrant opened fire and killed five people in Finland today before turning the gun on himself.
CNN reported:



A gunman opened fire inside a busy shopping center near the Finnish capital of Helsinki Thursday, leaving five people dead, police said.


Four of the victims — three men and one woman — were killed at the Sello shopping center in Espoo, just west of Helsinki, police said. Some were employees of a grocery store at the mall, police said.


A fifth victim, also an employee of the grocery store, was found later at an apartment in Espoo, police said, without offering details. CNN affiliate MTV3 said the victim was a woman.


Police told a news conference hours after the shootings that they found a sixth victim, who they believed to be the shooter. Police had previously identified the suspect as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli.


MTV3 reporter Pauli Poutanen said he learned from police that the sixth body was found near the crime scene.


Shkupolli had lived in Finland “for some time,” police said, but they don’t know his nationality.


Ibrahim killed his ex-wife and three men and a woman who worked with her.
ABC.net reported:



Ibrahim Shkupolli, 43, opened fire in the suburban Helsinki mall where his ex-partner reportedly worked, shooting dead three men and a woman before fleeing, Finnish detectives told a press conference on Thursday (local time).


The body of his former partner, whom he had been barred by a court from approaching, was discovered later in a house on the outskirts of the capital.


Police said they believed the incident, the latest in a series of shooting sprees which have sent shockwaves through the Nordic country, was triggered by a domestic dispute.

    The Sandscorpions have struck again! Muslim Militants have been striking randomly WORLDWIDE. Today is "Eid ul-/Fitr" A MUSLIM Holiday that marks the END of Ramadan on the first day of Shawwal. Hmmm, a "Domestic Dispute"? I DOUBT IT! More than likely it was deliberate attack, PERIOD! Oh, but wait. There are those who would want us to believe that those who follow Islam are PEACEFUL people. HOGWASH! Anyone (like me) who has read the FILTHY Koran KNOWS that it commands its followers to commit VIOLENT acts against others! Stand by! There will be many more attacks by Islamic Terrorists in the days to come! koran commands followers commit violent acts attacks islamic terrorists days

    I am not really anti-muslim. I am pro -america. There is a big difference. We need to shut our borders to all immagration except for the marraige clause. If the Muslim community wanted thay could take up the cause and stop their image from being eroded--they are not doing that so we have to ask ourselves why? We have to say that if they won't we need to close our borders to those who want to kill us.

    Muhammed taught that muslims should not have anything to do with pigs, because they are unclean in the eyes of Allah.

    The men who perpetrate these crimes so hate woman and womans rights that they want to die and go to heaven and further degradate woman as objects--why are our borders open to people that want to kill us? Yes , I know there are many good muslims that are peacful but they are peacefully solent and uintil they change this perception we need to close our borders!

    Your right, the world needs a long and hopefully healthy time out. We don't need Muslims that hate our very way of life coming here to try and change us. Make them stay where they are and work out the problems in their own region. Don't come here and complain.

    The reasoning escapes me. From what I understand this is a very violent religion and this could well have been an honour killing.
