Public records and news reports give very little information about his childhood, family, school, or place of birth. He is described in reports as a former legionnaire. Other early life details are not readily available in the sources consulted.
The Vidovci shooting took place on July 6, 1995, in Vidovci, near Požega in Slavonia, Croatia. Josip Capan Joko was the attacker. Six members of the Tolić family were killed.
On the evening of July 5, 1995, Joko, then 44, was arrested for masturbating in front of the Tolić family home. He later decided to take revenge for that incident.
On July 6, 1995, Joko fatally shot six members of the Tolić family in the head. The victims were a father, a mother, three children, and a grandmother.
He then detonated an explosive device in the Tolić home. Joko died in that explosion.
