Suljo Talovic doesn’t know where his son got the guns or how he learned how to use them.
Suljo Talovic, Father of Shooter: “Somebody got (the guns)…and maybe (they were) training him and tell(ing) him (to), ‘go shoot somebody.'”
Question: So you think that somebody influenced him maybe to do this?

KSL: What kind of person do you think that may have been?
Suljo: No good. I don’t know he’s not good.
