On Friday evening, September 23, 2016, Wilton Charles Chuck Eagan, 60, was shot at the Macy’s in Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington. He had been shopping with his wife and, after returning to the cosmetics department for a forgotten item, gunfire erupted. Eagan grabbed his wife’s hand as they ran; she tripped and took cover under a table, and Eagan was shot while trying to help her. He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and died the following morning.

The shooter was 20-year-old Arcan Cetin, who entered Macy’s with a rifle stolen from his stepfather and fatally shot four people at the scene — Sarai Lara, 16; Shayla Martin, 52; Belinda Galde, 64; and Galde’s 95-year-old mother, Beatrice Dotson — and wounded Eagan. Cetin was arrested about 24 hours later in Oak Harbor and charged with five counts of first-degree murder. Investigators reported he had propped open a movie-theater door in the mall earlier, suggesting a possible different or larger-scale plan.

If anyone knew Wilton Eagan or was in the mall that evening and can share what they observed, please come forward with information.
