Tennessee Gunman Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez: ‘Life Is Short and Bitter’ - The New York Times: "The mosque was in mourning for the Marines he is accused of killing. To honor them, Dr. Sheikh said, the center canceled its Eid al-Fitr celebration planned for Friday. Eid is normally a joyous affair, with children receiving gifts. About 1,000 people normally attend.
“We have canceled out of respect and remembrance for our fallen Marines,” he said.
Mary Winter, 32, the president of the Colonial Shores Neighborhood Association, said she knew the family, and that they were known as good and conscientious neighbors.
“This has been a huge shock in our neighborhood and our community,” she said. “Our hearts go out to the Marines who were killed, but our hearts also go out to the family.”
