Marysville was almost exactly two years ago.
He immigrated as a child.
On social media, a person claimed she knew him in fourth grade. Which would mean that at 9-10 years he was already in US.

The Facebook page of the alleged gunman, identified as his by the Times and many other media outlets, contains numerous references by friends to his purported fascination with guns and Russia.
On the Tumblr page, a post contains a reference to Allah and a person who responds uses the word Jannah, which is the term for the Muslim paradise.
The above photo is of the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The comment under it says, My main dude, Abu bakr al big daddy. #al qaeda.
Mental illiness is an illiness - like diabetes it does not care what country one comes from !
Basically a disgnosis is two tiered. First the medical piece and if there was a lot of "stuff" that shaped how a personality disorder (basically madladaptive ways of dealing with wounding in earlier years) is s seperaerate entity (anticsoical, narcisstic passive agressive etc etc)
a deeply ingrained and maladaptive pattern of behavior of a specified kind, typically manifest by the time one reaches adolescence and causing long-term difficulties in personal relationships or in functioning in society.
The fact remains that personality disorders (Axis II) which you're describing, do not render one "not responsible" legally for their actions. I've seen no evidence yet that he had Axis I disorder/s to the extent that he could be considered "not responsible" for his actions. I'm sure his attorneys will try to get him declared mentally ill "enough" so that he does not stand trial, or receive sentencing, but is sent to a mental institution instead-- but I don't think he will meet any of the requirements on those tests. I think his own actions showed he knew what he did was wrong, and that he planned it in advance. He may not have had enough "hugs" as a child, or has some adaptive issues, but that's a far cry from being mentally ill to the extent that he isn't responsible for his actions. Most of what I see in his past are behavioral problems, not Axis I issues, IMO.
Almost every one could "fit" the diagnostic criteria at some point in time for a personality disorder. Every single person in jail and prison has evidence of a personality disorder, or they wouldn't be there in the first place. Personality disorders are not legally mental illness. They are a foundation that produces a behavior problem. And personality disorders are widely agreed to be non-curable with any known medication or therapies. At best, we can train people with serious personality disorders how to behave so they get along in society better.
Hi Dotr!
Man it is really sad.
This is the second time this has happened. I got lost as to which killing was which thread , where it happened, which killer was where and the backstory. Same thing happened when there was a spurt of terror attacks a couple of months ago -----so many malls in the last couple of weeks. pathetic!!
I think media looks at all the immigration and visas and green cards (the whole schmeal) backwards. We have to IMO remember, that the world is a different place TODAY. They always get into this how did X get in the country bla bla.
Things to "screen " for were different 5 years ago..
Things to "screen " for were very different 10 years ago
Things to "screen " for were very very different 15 years ago
Things to "screen " for were verv very very differtnet 20 years ago
Things to "screen " for were very very very very different 25 years ago !!
IMO how he got here, when he got here, why he is here , what category he was/is placed in makes no difference to the families of the 5 victims.
Again , we have a mentally ill individual killing other people.............
Again, as a society its our choice..................................
How do we start screening for a Lanza, McVeigh, Elliot, Ed Gein, Ted Bundy ad naseum?
How do you screen a child? His stepfather is a United States veteran.
http://www.kvue.com/news/crime/casc...ct-says-he-did-it-say-court-records/326344266Records obtained by the KING 5 Investigators showed a Kirkland mental health facility tried to involuntarily commit the suspected Cascade Mall shooter last year.
Records show the doctors at Fairfax Hospital told a King County judge they were gravely concerned about Arcan Cetin. In documents filed with Island County District probation officers, a doctor checked a box indicating he was worried Cetin would harm himself.
A separate box indicating Cetin might harm others was not checked. It is unclear from these records whether or not Cetin was involuntarily admitted to the hospital.
(...)
The KING 5 Investigators are reviewing hundreds of pages of documents and will report more as it becomes available.
Cetin was arrested on domestic violence charges in October 2014 after arguing with his mother because she wouldn't let him take his car to see his girlfriend, who had recently moved away. He broke glass in two pieces of furniture, put a hole in a wall and made dents in the refrigerator, she told police.
When Marshall got home and said he couldn't visit the girl, Cetin exploded again and took his mother's hand and started smacking himself in the face, she said.
Marshall called 911, and when the dispatcher asked if there were any guns in the home, Marshall said they were under his bed. When Cetin heard the comment, he bolted for the room, with Marshall close behind. Cetin tried to reach the guns, but Marshall pinned him against a wall until officers arrived, the documents say.
He was charged with assault and malicious mischief. In February 2015, the court agreed to dismiss the charges after two years if Cetin complied with the conditions of his probation, including not possessing firearms, drugs or alcohol and attending monthly counseling sessions.
Four months later, two of his classmates at Oak Harbor High School told authorities that he placed his foot between their legs during class and wouldn't stop. He denied being at school that day when questioned by police but was arrested on two counts of fourth-degree sexual motivation.
Later in June, Cetin had another violent outburst at home, and when his stepfather tried to stop him, he kissed Marshall on the lips. Marshall pushed Cetin away, and Cetin punched his stepfather in the face twice, records say.
Hello? Monthly counseling sessions is not anywhere near enough to deal with these kinds of issues.
