A woman who identified herself as his cousin said he was having recurring nightmares about someone coming to kill him and had been taking medication.
“He thought the devil was coming to him,” said Zargona Ramish, who went to the family’s home Tuesday afternoon while Popal’s relatives were speaking with police. “He is a very good person. He is not like that. What’s wrong with him?”
Sound familiar? Think back a couple of weeks to the shooting at the Seattle Community Center. Here’s a quote from the parents, “”We could not have imagined for a moment that our son would do this senseless act. This is utterly contrary to our beliefs and Islamic values”.
And more similarities to Seattle… Haq (Seattle Shooter) had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 10 years ago and was taking several powerful medications, including lithium and Depakote.
Relatives now saying motive may possibly be a bad case of “wedding jitters“.
