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.

For once it sounds like a muslim just actually did freak out and kill. This particular type of murder happens all over the place, unfortunately, and seems to be part of the Human condition. Much, much more common is the same old muslim crap of killing the infidels. They thrive on that; murder for allah.
Marsh commented:
A violent muslim immigrant? Surely you jest.
PS. Banning guns should never be the solution. In fact, the solution is increased gun ownership so people can defend themselves from psychopaths and criminal low lifes. And the statistics back that up. In the UK where nearly all guns have been banned, gun crime has nearly doubled. The same is true in Canada. In Switzerland where basically everyone owns a fully automatic modern assualt rifle, almost no gun crime occurs. And In America, crime plummeted in 2009 at the same time that gun sales soared. This is despite going through the worst economic recession in several decades. An armed society is a polite society. Would you try to assualt a person who was armed?

Appears to be a domestic dispute turned deadly; not religiously or politically motivated.
So the fact he is Muslim in this case may just not have bearing on the story.
Gini commented:
Didn’t think the man looked like a Finn.
Militant Conservative commented:
Marsh, you got it right. More guns less crime is a truth not a cute saying. ALL the states that have concealed carry have experianced less crime.
Peggy commented:
This sounds like a true case of domestic violence. Although I have to wonder what part the Muslim concept of honor had to play in it. But we’ll perhaps never know since the perp is not going to be talking.

The fact he is Muslim is probably the major reason and the inability to accept the western concept of freedom and women as equals.

Sorry, I can’t agree with the above on “just a domestic violence”. If his wife left him, he is obligated to punish the humiliation and dishonor.
Mr. Bear commented:
The guy originally comes from the Kosovo. The Kosovo, where the EU and UN has been “disarming” people left and right and… they still are armed to their teeth.
Organized crime members from these areas, when spreading into Europe, are always, ALWAYS, armed to their teeth. They have used RPGs and hand grenades in their fights.
That little wanker there surely got his gun outside of legal channels. If I want a gun in Germany, I can get one, illegally. Same for every other European country. No matter how strict the laws are, there are always ways to bypass them. Strict gun laws are pointless and even dangerous, just look at Chicago.
Marsh, you’re dead on.
Going by his name he married that woman to get his ass into a western country. Classic case of “beezness” (coming from, yes, “business”), which is a slang term for the practice of “asians” and “southerners” of wooing western women, get them to marry them and then live off our taxes.
Also, if it was domestic violence, he would have killed his ex-wife and that would have been it. That’s how all those cases usually work.
But he, the muslim, had to take his gun, after murdering his ex-wife, and murder a few more people. That is not domestic violence. That is what you can observe throughout Europe on a daily basis. That is islamisation. That is the one thing that is angering the people all across Europe. And boy are the people pissed off by now.
One Way commented:
Maybe this woman should consider herself lucky. She could have been beheaded.
Who can forget the (NJ?) woman who suggested – and succeeded in getting – her husband to establish a TV show. Its purpose? To cast muslim men in a better light. You know, dispel those crazy notions some of us might have about them.
Mr. Bear has an interesting observation re the unfortunate souls who worked with this woman.
Lynn B commented:
He was an ILLEGAL as well as having been charged for other issues involving guns. And, thw woman had a restraining order on him. Why the hell wasn’t he deported before this happened?

American Power tracked-back with, ‘Finland New Year’s Eve Massacre: Muslim Shooter Ibrahim Shkupolli, Dismissed as ‘Lone Muslim’, Alleged as KLA Terrorist Wanted by Serbia’.
Bogdan from Australia commented:
However, in the Danish TV, crime sitcom – Oernen (The Eagle) if any good Muslim is out to commit an act of a terrorism, it is because he or she has been brainwashed by:
1- white male criminal
2 – white roque former special unit soldier
3 – renegade former CIA operative rampaging throughout the peaceful, gun-free Europe
erik commented:
He was an illegal immigrant with multiple convictions including illegal weapons. Of course any weapon he had was illegal. Seems gun laws for some reason didn’t stop him.
What’s also interesting is that he could be pretty safe knowing that no one else at the mall would be armed, Finland does not allow carrying weapons for self defense purposes.
