Sadly, he brought his olde country attitudes with him, which did not please the local girls or the boys. He stole his step-papa's guns to shoot up the Macy's counter where his ex-girlfriend hadn't been working for ages... |
20, who had been awaiting trial for the mass shooting in 2016, was found dead in the Snohomish County Jail on Sunday night.He had been charged with five counts of aggravated murder, and could have faced the death penalty if found guilty.
Authorities have not yet determined the cause of death.
According to Sherlocks, Cetin shot five shoppers at a Macy's department store after first trying to enter through the backdoor of a nearby cinema.
The shooting spree at the Cascade shopping mall occurred less than three hours after he had sat down for dinner with his stepfather.
Surveillance footage from inside the mall shows the suspect opening fire on four woman and one man as they browsed the store.
Police say Cetin was inside the mall for less than one minute before he fled the store, leaving the .22 calibre rifle, which police say had been stolen from Cetin's stepfather, on a counter in the cosmetics department.

At the request of one of his lawyers, Cetin had been held in Snohomish County for about a month, Weyrich said.
The move to Snohomish County came about because Cetin was making statements to other inmates that were "against his best interests," said Skagit County spokeswoman Bronlea Mishler.
Cetin was awaiting results of a second competency evaluation, a hearing for which had been scheduled for next week.
