Parents of Student Slain By Self-Proclaimed Jihadist Speak Out

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

They don’t believe the gunman acted alone.

The parents of New Jersey college student who was gunned down by a man who claims to be a homegrown jihadist spoke out to Fox News about the death of their son and the conditions under which he died.

Alison and Michael Tevlin’s son Brendan was shot eight times while sitting in his Jeep at a red light in West Orange, New Jersey on June 25th.  The gunman, Ali Muhammed Brown, causally walked up to the vehicle and just started shooting.

Brown claims that he shot and killed Tevlin because of the U.S. military action in Iraq and Afghanistan.  He said that he was a “jihadist” and that has led many to call it a case of domestic terror.

“I don’t think it makes that much of a difference at this time,” Allison Tevlin said on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” “I think he murdered Brendan and he murdered several others and he is an American. He did what he did. And like I said, he didn’t act alone, so I don’t know if I — we have all the information or enough information to make that kind of judgment; it’s not really for us to make that judgment.”

Brown reportedly killed three other men in the Seattle area earlier in the summer before the murder of Tevlin.  He’s currently held in the Essex County Jail on $5 million bail.  If extradited to Washington
