I mean, isn't that how every moo-slum-o-phobic post should start? Without, it's kind of like Riunite without the ice... not so nice.

I live 45 minutes up in the mountains from this town. I hear gun shots all the time. Hunters I guess

Either that or suicides. Remember, it's Washington State after all.

vid released showing the shooter and the panic in the mall etc.
vid added to the OP.

Video footage taken by surveillance cameras in a Washington state mall that was made public Friday captured the fear and panic that broke out when a man carrying a rifle opened fire inside a Macy’s department store.

Some shoppers at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington, ran and others hid behind clothing racks as a lone shooter with a rifle searched for his targets.

The Sept. 23 shooting left a teenage girl, three women and one man dead.

Arcan Cetin of Oak Harbor is being held on suspicion of five counts of first-degree, premeditated murder. Bail was set at $2 million. Prosecutors have until Jan. 6, 2017 to file formal charges.

The 14 clips of video were released late Friday by Skagit County in response to a public records request.

The video, taken from cameras throughout the store, show the shooter wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, carrying a rifle in his right hand, as he walked and sometimes ran down aisles and between racks.

He veered off the main aisle between two clothing racks and shot the girl as she walked near the end of the rack. She immediately fell to the floor.

The shooter encountered a man who was running away. The man tripped and was shot.

The next clip shows a woman hiding inside the cosmetics counter island, while two other women lock arms in front of the counter and try to run away.

The shooter walked up to the counter and shot the woman behind the counter as she crouched near the floor. He then fired at the two women who held each other.

The shooter placed the rifle, a .22-caliber Ruger, on the top of the cosmetics counter and left the store.

Police captured Cetin, 20, the following night outside his Oak Harbor apartment complex and he made his first appearance in Skagit County District Court on Sept. 26.

Cetin’s stepfather, David Marshall, told reporters after the hearing that Cetin “has mental health issues.”

Cetin’s lawyers recently filed documents that aim to keep the prosecutor from getting access to Cetin’s mental health records.

Public Defender C. Wesley Richards filed a motion on Oct. 14 asking the judge to quash search warrants that were served on two psychiatrists who treated Cetin.

Assaults on his parents and inappropriate sexual behavior at school led judges to order mental health treatment for Cetin, but weekly counseling sessions failed to help him.

Court records obtained by The Associated Press detail a series of criminal charges and attempts to rehabilitate Cetin, who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder and depression.

A court first ordered Cetin into treatment after he attacked his mother two years ago. He was following a program designed to erase that assault charge when he made unwelcome sexual advances toward two girls in his math class in 2015 and then punched his stepfather soon afterward, the documents say.

He will probably end up on this site in the death section

Mental health issues or not, this cold blooded murder needs to be removed from society. Nothing he could say or do will bring back the lives he took from their families.

I came upon a youtube video than contains the store video of this shooting. I don't know how to edit out all of the other bits but the mall shooting videos begin at the 3:07 mark.

yeah a real man there. Shoot some unarmed grandmas and then run like a pussy.

Good find. I often check up on stories like this in the news section or update them because half the time, the only real timeline, true events and followups are here at DR.

The most chilling aspect of that was in the frames at 4:29. Running for your life and falling - it's the stuff horror movies are made of.

It's also scary to see just how many near misses there were and how close some of the people who ran really were to that fool. Saved by (unintentionally) mixing with mannequins, hanging in clothing racks, and so forth. Makes me wonder if the truly best thing to do isn't to panic and run down the main aisle and away in open target, but to jump inside a rack. Dude was looking for easy targets - he stayed mostly on the main path unless he saw someone from that main path. Looks like most of those he got to were those crouching next to the main path or next to kiosks in the main path.
