state mall has been charged with five counts of first degree murder,
according to Skagit County jail records.
Arcan Cetin, 20, was taken into custody Saturday night after a nearly 24-
hour manhunt, authorities said.
Four women and one man died in the shooting Friday night at a Macy's store
at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, just north of Seattle.
The victims' identities have not been released.
Authorities arrested Cetin as he walked down the street near his home in Oak
Harbor, Washington.
When officers confronted him, he did not run, said Lt. Mike Hawley of the
Island County Sheriff's Office. Instead, he froze and complied, Hawley said.
Cetin was not armed at the time of his arrest.
"He said nothing," Hawley said. "Just kind of zombie-like."
Cetin is scheduled to make a court appearance Monday.

While more details emerged on the suspect after his arrest Saturday night,
the motive remains unknown.
Cetin emigrated from Turkey and is a legal permanent resident of the United
States, authorities said. It's unclear when he moved to the US.
State authorities said it's too early to rule out terrorism or any other
motive because their investigation is in its preliminary stages. Before the
suspect's arrest, an official with the FBI had told reporters there was "no
evidence at this time" of a link to terrorism. |
