A blurry surveillance photo of a rifle-toting man accused of shooting four women and a man dead at a Washington state mall could be the biggest lead in the hunt for the shooter.
Authorities searched Cascade Mall in Burlington for evidence after Friday night's rampage, and they have not identified the attacker or his victims.
"The city of Burlington has probably changed forever," Mayor Steve Sexton said of the town, about an hour north of Seattle. "This is a senseless act. It was the world knocking on our doorstep, and it came to our little community here."
The mayor urged residents with possible leads to come forward "to help get that son of a bitch who did this to our community."
Authorities are looking for this man after the shooting at the mall.

Meanwhile, the four bodies were removed from the mall Saturday and are in the possession of the Skagit County Coroner's Office, Washington State Patrol Public Information Officer Sgt. Keith Leary told CNN.
The coroner's office is in the process of identifying the victims and notifying their families before the names are released publicly, Leary says.
