  SHOOTING AT CASCADE MALL IN BURLINGTON, WASHINGTON
  (Ms. DelBENE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. DelBENE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a very heavy heart. On 
Friday night, there was a tragic shooting at the Cascade Mall in 
Burlington, where five people were killed.
  The victims included a 16-year-old cancer survivor from Mount Vernon 
High School, a dedicated public servant from Arlington and her 95-year-
old mother, a Boeing employee from Lake Stevens, and a Macy's cosmetic 
counter worker.
  As our community comes together during this difficult time, our 
region grieves for the victims, their families, and all those affected 
by this tragedy.
  We will always remember Sarai Lara, Belinda Galde, Beatrice Dotson, 
Chuck Eagan, and Shayla Martin.
  I want to thank our local law enforcement for their long hours 
searching for the shooter who was apprehended less than 24 hours after 
the incident.
  While there is no one law that will prevent every single instance of 
senseless violence, we must do more to end the tragic cycle of gun 
violence affecting our communities.
