Arcan Cetin, Washington mall shooter dies in custody

Atkron sends us a link to the news that Arcan Cetin, the Turkey-born fellow who went on a rampage with a Ruger 10/22 in a Macy’s store in Burlington, Washington last year, has been reported dead while in custody in the Snohomish County Jail as he awaited trial;

Arcan Cetin, 20, died while in custody on Sunday night, according to The Skagit County prosecuting attorney.

It was not immediately clear how Cetin died. KIRO 7 is asking whether his death was a suicide, homicide, natural causes or accidental.

The Seattle Times speculates that he hung himself in his cell last night. KING says that the prosecutor has verified that.

The Skagit County Prosecutor’s Office said Cetin was discovered hanging in his cell just before 9 p.m. The office could not immediately say why Cetin had been transferred from Skagit County.

Cetin had been forbidden to possess firearms in Washington State, but he had apparently stolen his step father’s rifle and despite the fact that openly carrying long guns in Washington is illegal, that’s what he did eventually killing four women and a man.

      The sad thing is that the little maggot even made it to jail!

  2. Combat Historian

    Proggy WA will now probably have to pay a big settlement to this turd’s family…

  3. Not legal to carry a long gun in public in Washington?
    And he does it and kills a few people?
    Go figger…

    1. Brown Neck Gaitor

      For want of a fourth felony law to dissuade him from his rampage, he was free to break the three….

    Apparently, this muslim didnt think about spending the rest of his life in prison as the punishnent for waging islamic jihad and establishing a muslim caliphate was worth it…

    In other countries, he would be hailed as a hero.

    He can eat a bag of dicks (literally) in hell.

  6. Veritas Omnia Vincit

    Here’s hoping he committed suicide by hanging with his hands tied behind his back.

    Last thing heard in his cell.
    “Let me know if this is too tight.”

    On Second thought it could have been.
    Grrgle, grrgle, gasp.

    Liberals don’t like it when violent criminals die in law enforcement custody.

      I, on the other hand, like it immensely.

        Me too! High five.

      Unfortunately, the deputy who was supposed to be doing cell checks may get hung out to dry. As in other organizations, shit will flow downhill.

  9. TankBoy

    Good. Glad to hear it

    probably as well that he took a 10-22… judging by the picture he had access to what looks like a Saiga 12 gauge which could have done some serious damage.

  11. Civilwarrior

    Take a dirt nap, worm food.

  12. Ex-PH2

    He’s dead? He’d better stay dead, buried and forgotten.

    “The office could not immediately say why Cetin had been transferred from Skagit County.”

    Cuz the other county lockup knows how to turn it’s head at the right time.

    Not to be contrary to what you stated Jon. But, I have seen several Pro 2nd Amendment rallies conducted in Olympia where many of the participants had there rifles at ‘sling arms’.

    As far as Arcan goes, all I can say is that as soon as I saw he was dead a huge Cheshire grin came to my face.

  16. AW1Ed

    Since I doubt any here will squeak out a tear for poor Arcan, perhaps the TAH choir will sing him a hymn.

    Now where did I put that pitch pipe?

  17. HMC Ret

    Here’s hoping his 72 or however many virgins he has been promised are twins of wideload, Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi.

    1. OldSoldier54

      That’s just MEAN …

    2. UpNorth

      Helen Thomas, at least 70 should be Helen Thomas.

    Good Riddance and now there’s one less PUNK having to be fed, clothed and housed at taxpayer expense.:D

    Hymn, Hymn, “F” him

  20. May he be ass-raped for eternity.

  21. Silentium Est Aureum

    I’m sorry, am I supposed to be broken up that this fucker saved taxpayers several million dollars?

  22. I love ah happy ending.

    1. ifcsguy

      Every now and then things work out for the better. This news did make for a better evening.

  23. Deplorable B Woodman

    Suicide? No 72 raisins for him. Or Virginians either.

  24. RM3(SS)

    Leave him hang until he stops breathing, then do CPR until he comes back. Then let him hang again until he stops breathing, etc. Fucker deserves to die more than once.

  25. Skippy

    Talk about saving the taxpayers a ton of money
    May he rot in hell

  26. The Old Maj

    Much less tragic if he had done that nine months ago.

  27. ocean12

    The officer that located him the day after shooting is a real former Ranger, not a poser.

    Washington State is open carry.
