Authorities: Female Victim In Cascade Mall Shooting Was Probation Officer

BURLINGTON, Wash. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Authorities say one of the five victims in the deadly Washington state mall shooting was a probation officer.

The Snohomish County District Court in a statement identified Belinda Galde as an employee with the court since 1989.

The statement says the 64-year-old Galde "was an amazingly kind and caring individual" who helped thousands of probationers find a better way to live.

A spokesman for the Skagit County Emergency Operations Center said an unidentified male victim died early Saturday at a Seattle hospital. Four female victims died earlier following the Friday night shooting at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington.

Police arrested 20-year-old Arcan Cetin on Saturday following Friday's shooting at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, north of Seattle, that left five people dead. Authorities say they found Cetin walking along a road at around 6:30 p.m.

Authorities say the motive was unknown for the shooting about 60 miles (97 kilometers) north of Seattle.

According to law enforcement officials, more information about the incident is expected to be released on Monday.
