"The gunman began shooting at the Cascade Mall around 7 p.m. local time on Friday in the cosmetics section of a Macy's department store, police said, killing four women as well as one man who died later at a hospital.
Police told reporters nothing is yet known about Cetin's possible motive but they were not ruling out
anything, including terrorism. They described his demeanor when apprehended as "zombie like," and said he was unarmed.
They said he was born in Turkey, and described his status as that of a "legal, permanent resident" in the United States.
Surveillance video from the mall in Burlington, around 65 miles (105 km) north of Seattle, showed the gunman walked into the shopping center without a rifle, but later caught him brandishing the weapon, Mount Vernon Police Lieutenant Chris Cammock said
The rifle was later recovered at the mall, said Cammock, commander of the Skagit County Multi-Agency Response Team.
