Authorities search for clues in Washington mall shooting

Investigators on Sunday tried to piece together information on the 20-year-old suspect in the deadly Washington state mall shootings who was apprehended after a nearly 24hour manhunt.

Washington State Patrol Sgt. Mark Francis said Sunday that authorities were searching an apartment tied to Arcan Cetin and searching his vehicle. Authorities don’t yet know who is on the apartment lease or how long Cetin may have lived there.

Cetin was arrested Saturday in Oak Harbor. He said nothing and appeared “zombie-like” when he was taken into custody.

As the surrounding community absorbed the news, critical questions remained, including the shooter’s motive.

Island County Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Hawley said he spotted Cetin from a patrol car in Oak Harbor, Washington, and immediately recognized him as the suspect who killed five people at the Cascade Mall in nearby Burlington.
