Public's help needed identifying gunman at Burlington mall

Authorities are asking for the public’s help identifying the man accused of killing five people after opening fire Friday night inside the Burlington mall, north of Seattle.

Video surveillance shows the suspect entered the Cascade Mall without a weapon.

Ten minutes later, shortly before 7 p.m., he reappeared on video at the Macy’s store with a rifle in his hand, according to the Skagit Multiple Agency Response Team.

The gunman then fired multiple rounds, killing four females in the store’s makeup department.

The fifth victim, a man, died early Saturday at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Dispatchers received the first emergency call at 6:58 p.m. More than 26 law enforcement agencies immediately responded to the mall.

The story is continuing to be updated.

The suspect got away after the fatal shooting. However, authorities said his weapon has been recovered.

There is no information at this time about a suspect vehicle.

People who have tips or information about the shooter or his whereabouts are asked to call 360-428-3211 or email scinv@co.skagit.wa.us.
