A gunman opened fire at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington, Friday evening, killing four females and a male before fleeing. Law enforcement staged a massive search over more than 20 hours for the suspect, initially described by witnesses as a young Hispanic male wearing black.

Authorities had said that a rifle had been found at the scene.

The motive was unknown for the shooting about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of Seattle. The FBI was assisting local authorities, but it said there was no evidence to point to terrorism.

Oak Harbor is 28 miles away from Burlington.

Tipster recognized Cascade Mall shooting suspect

A Washington man says he recognized the Cascade Mall shooting suspect from surveillance photos Saturday as a man who worked out at his gym in Oak Harbor.

“I just said to myself, that it looked like a guy that was at the gym,” Michael Wilson told Q13 FOX News. “Ya know, the same mannerisms, the same body structure type, same facial features. It just looked identical to him.”

Wilson said he struggled with whether to call authorities but then decided to call when he couldn't ignore a nagging feeling in his gut.
