The gunman believed to have opened fire with a rifle at a Washington state mall, killing five people, was captured on Saturday one day after the attack, authorities said. The rifle was later recovered at the mall, said Cammock, commander of the Skagit County Multi-Agency Response Team. Steve Sexton, the mayor of Burlington, described the shooting as a "senseless act." The mall attack followed a series of violent outbursts at shopping centers across the United States, including the stabbing of nine people at a Minnesota center last weekend. "We have no indication that we have a terrorism act," said Michael Knutson, assistant special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Seattle office.
