 And Linwood's mayor, Christine Frizzell, put out a statement addressing the shooting in that she says, in part, community members deserve to feel safe while out shopping or dining or simply enjoying a nice evening. Our mall and the surrounding areas, our city parks and our neighborhoods must remain safe. As for that teenage suspect, because he's 16 years old, if he is to be charged with murder, according to Washington state law, that case will automatically be transferred to adult court.
