A gunman fatally shot five people in a Washington state mall, he escaped and is still at large

Last night a man walked up to a makeup counter at a Macy’s store in a Washington state mall carrying a hunting rifle, then he proceeded to shoot and kill four women and a man ranging in age from teenagers to seniors after reportedly shouting a “woman’s name” several times.

Authorities describe the man as “Hispanic” in his late teens to mid twenties.  Surveillance video showed that he entered the building without a gun.  He was last seen walking toward Interstate 5 which is a few hundred feet from the Macy’s exit.

The above video report closes with the reporter saying “This is a local investigation right now.  The FBI is involved but they did say at the news conference that there is nothing that points to a terrorism act at this point.”
