<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nYesterday, Arcan Cetin, a twenty-year-old Turkish-born man, gunned down five people in a Macy’s store in Burlington, Washington’s Cascade Mall. Four of the victims were women, the fifth was a husband who stooped to help his wife when she fell during the rampage. According to the Seattle Times<\/a>, Cetin was not unknown to local law enforcement;<\/p>\n Skagit County court records show Cetin has a criminal record that included three domestic-violence assault charges in both Burlington and Island County, with the victim identified as Cetin\u2019s stepfather. He also was arrested for drunken driving.<\/p>\n Island County District Court records show that Cetin was told by a judge on Dec. 29 that he was not to possess a firearm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n From our friends at Weaselzippers<\/a>;<\/p>\n Usually, you hear from the neighbors or friends \u201coh he was quiet\u201d, \u201che was nice\u201d, or \u201cwe never would have known\u201d.<\/p>\n Not so here. Multiple women on Facebook accused him of grabbing women and one even calling him a pervert against women who should \u2018rot in hell\u2019.<\/p>\n Now we cannot know if those allegations are true, it\u2019s clear that they hold no fond memories of this guy. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n From My Northwwest<\/a>;<\/p>\n According to KIRO 7 reporter Amy Clancy, Cetin was known in his Oak Harbor neighborhood.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody we\u2019ve talked with in this neighborhood is relieved. They were scared of this guy,\u201d Clancy told KIRO 7.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n In 2015, Cetin was involved in a 4th degree assault in Oak Harbor. As a result, the court ordered him to go under a mental health evaluation which was completed in March 2016, according to KIRO 7. He was ordered not to use drugs or alcohol during this time. On Aug. 25, 2016, he was found in compliance with all court orders, including weekly mental health counseling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m most curious about how he was able to find a firearm to use in his shooting spree, however, that doesn’t seem to be a topic of conversation this morning. i wonder why. Not only were Washington’s draconian gun laws in place, there seems to have been a court order that forbade him to possess a gun, yet he walked into a busy mall carrying a long gun and no one stopped him. According to Wiki<\/a>;<\/p>\n Open carry is lawful in Washington without any permit. Open carry of a loaded handgun in a vehicle is legal only with a concealed pistol license. Open carry of a loaded long gun in a vehicle is illegal, regardless of CPL possession. State Law does not allow more restrictive local laws.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n Open carrying of firearms is not prohibited by law, although trouble with some law enforcement agencies has been encountered while open carrying in the past…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
