Another victim was Chuck Eagan, a longtime Boeing maintenance worker from Lake Stevens, said his aunt, Carol Thrush via the seattletimes. She said Eagan and his wife were out for a dinner and shopping at the mall, and they had made their way to Macy’s when the shooter opened fire.

Thrush said Eagan and his wife began running, but his wife fell down as she was trying to get away. As Eagan helped his wife, he was shot, Thrush said.

Thrush said Eagan, who had two daughters, was planning to retire from Boeing next year with hopes of doing some traveling.

‘He was just a wonderful person,’ Thrush said.

In the aftermath of Friday’s mass shooting tragedy, Seth Pilkey, editor of a local news blog Lake Stevens News Spot, paid tribute to Chuck Eagan on Facebook.

‘Today, I ask that you join me in a moment of silence for Chuck Eagan, a longtime Boeing maintenance worker from Lake Stevens. Mr. Eagan’s life was cut short by the recent tragic events at Cascade mall,‘ he wrote.

Adding: ‘As a community, we are one big family, and we mourn together.’

The FBI office in Seattle said authorities had no evidence to link the shooting with terrorism. Police are currently working to determine the motive behind the shooting that left four women and one man dead. The dead man’s identity is still not known.

Nearly 24 hours after the shooting, police arrested Cetin, a man of Turkish origin, who is a naturalized citizen and a resident of Oak Harbor, a nearby town. Authorities had initially described the suspect as a Hispanic man in his late teens.

Mount Vernon Police Lt. Chris Cammock told the Associated Press that Cetin went into the mall twice Friday night. During his first visit, he was without a weapon, but later returned with a ‘hunting type’ rifle and began shooting at people.

Cetin is scheduled to appear in Skagit County District Court on Monday where he will be charged with five degrees of first degree of murder.
