(CNN) - A gunman is on the loose after an attack that left three people dead and two wounded Friday night at a mall in Burlington, Washington, authorities said.

 

Sgt. Mark Francis, a spokesman for the state patrol, initially said four people were killed, but later revised that number to three. All three were women, he said, and one man was being transported to a hospital with severe injuries. Another man received non-life threatening injuries.

 

Police are sweeping stores in Cascade Mall, searching for at least one shooter, Francis said.

Authorities released a photo of a man believed to be the gunman. 

 

"Here is the shooter. We believe just one shooter. ... Armed with rifle," Francis tweeted.

 

Francis said police are "actively searching for suspect, tracking leads."

 

Washington State Trooper Rick Johnson told CNN they had reports of the suspect "walking toward the freeway, had reports of him behind... some buildings, they're canvassing the area right now, and ... has not been located at this time."

 

The three people killed were inside Macy's, Francis said.

The nice thing about having so many mass shootings is there is always something new.

 

And now we all roll the dice and hope it isn't a group we try to "apologize" for
