A manhunt is underway Saturday for a gunman police said opened fire at a mall in Washington state, killing four women and one man, authorities said. The shooting took place about 7 p.m. Friday in the makeup department of a Macy’s store at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Wash., about 60 miles north of Seattle, authorities said in a news conference Saturday morning. “There are people waking up this morning and their world has changed forever,” an emotional Burlington Mayor Steve Sexton said. “This was a senseless act. It was the world knocking on our doorstep and it came to our little community here.”
