Police located the suspect in the random killing of three people at a convenience store in Yakima, Washington, after he borrowed a stranger's cell phone to call his mother and confess to what he had done, authorities said Tuesday.
The suspect shot and killed himself behind some warehouses as officers approached, said Yakima Police Chief Matt Murray. No officers used force and none was injured, he added.
"I listened to that call -- it's pretty harrowing," Murray said. "I have to really thank her again because she was very courageous in getting us there." He then walked across the street to another gas station and began shooting into his own car to get inside, because he had locked himself out, Murray said.The attack is yet another outbreak of violence in the early weeks of 2023 as the U.S. suffers a wave of mass killings that has claimed dozens of lives.
