Suspect sought after 3 killed in convenience store shooting
SEATTLE (AP) — Authorities closed portions of several roads Tuesday as they searched for the suspect in a random shooting at a Yakima, Washington, convenience store that left at least three people dead.
Yakima police Chief Matt Murray said the shooting was reported at a Circle K convenience store about 3:30 a.m., and responding officers found three people dead. Murray said police have security camera video and eyewitnesses from the store.
“It appears to be a random situation,” Murray said during a news conference. “There was no apparent conflict between the parties. The male just walked in and started shooting.”
Police did not immediately release additional details about the victims but said the suspect — identified as 21-year-old Jarid Haddock, of Yakima County — should be considered armed and dangerous. He drove away in a gray or silver sedan, possibly a Chrysler 200, Murray said, heading toward the suburban community of Moxee on Highway 24.
