The 20-year-old man accused of fatally shooting five people at a Macy’s store in Washington state before evading a manhunt for 24 hours was charged with five counts of first-degree murder Monday morning. The packed courthouse about 60 miles north of Seattle included tearful family members of some of the victims. Cetin admitted to the shooting to detectives, according to court documents released Monday by the Skagit County Superior Court. After the shooting, Cetin left the Ruger rifle with a 25-round magazine on top of a cosmetics counter, then fled the mall in a vehicle, the documents said. A Navy base spokesman confirmed to The Washington Post that Cetin worked at the commissary on the base between 2012 and 2013 when he was in high school.
