September 25, 2016 08:13

The suspect in Saturday's deadly Cascade Mall shooting in Washington state is in custody, the authorities announced today.

On Saturday, the suspect had gone on a rampage inside the mall killing 4 women and a man and then fleeing before the cops could nab him.

KING-TV in Seattle reported that the 20-year-old man was taken into custody in Oak Harbor, about 29 miles southwest of Burlington.

The man's identity and other details about the arrest were not immediately available.

Police had been searching for a gunman dressed in black who fled on foot toward an interstate highway after opening fire in the makeup department at a Macy's store in Burlington.

Initial surveillance footage from the Cascade Mall showed the suspect entering the building late Friday without a weapon but walking into Macy's about 10 minutes later carrying a "hunting-style" a rifle, police said.

The suspect, described as in his teens or early 20s, went into the store's makeup area where he shot four women and a man, Lt. Chris Cammock of the Mount Vernon Police Department said at a news conference.

He then left on foot, out of range of cameras.
