3 killed in shooting in U.S. Washington state

RSS/Xinhua: Three people were killed in a shooting at a convenience store Tuesday morning in Yakima in the U.S. state of Washington.

The shooter is still at large, and the motive remains unknown, local police said. Yakima Police Chief Matt Murray said a man walked into a Circle K convenience store in Yakima early Tuesday morning and killed three people. The shooter took a car after shooting at the driver and then drove away.

“It appears to be a random situation,” Murray said in a police video posted on social media. “There was no apparent conflict between the parties, the male just walked in and started shooting.” “This is a dangerous person and it’s random so it’s a danger to the community,” Murray added.
