US mall shooting : Toll goes to 5
Four women and one man were killed, police said in an updated toll.
The man had been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but died there, the report quoted police as saying.
Authorities say there was only one shooter in Friday night’s attack at Cascade Mall in Burlington, located about 110 kilometers north of Seattle, describing him as a Hispanic male wearing a gray shirt.
Police released a closely cropped still from video surveillance of the young-looking suspect showing only his head and torso, though the full picture, published by local media, showed him holding what appeared to be a rifle.
Police received calls around 6:58 pm Friday (0058 GMT Saturday) that shots were fired at the mall, Trooper Rick Johnson, another spokesman, told CNN.
