"His intent was to shoot as many people as he possibly could," said Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank.
Four other shooting victims are hospitalized.
Talovic was armed with a shotgun, a .38-caliber handgun and "a backpack full of ammunition," Burbank said. Around the man's waist was a bandolier of shotgun shells.
"He had a pump shotgun," said one witness, DeEtta Barta. "He was shooting, and he shot about four shots."
Barta and her friend Ron Mason were celebrating her birthday at the Desert Edge Brewery when they looked out the window and saw Talovic emerging from the parking terrace, firing away.
"It didn't seem real to me," Mason said.
Police said Tuesday they did not know where Talovic got his weapons. Investigators believe the shootings were random.
"This is something really unheard of in our community," Burbank said.
Investigators believe that Talovic pulled into the west parking terrace of Trolley Square about 6:44 p.m. on Monday. He got out of his car and shot 52-year-old Jeffery Walker and his son, 16-year-old AJ Walker.
Jeffery Walker was killed. AJ was taken to a local hospital and was listed in critical but stable condition.
