   HONORING THE VICTIMS OF THE CASCADE MALL SHOOTING IN BURLINGTON, 
                               WASHINGTON

  (Mr. LARSEN of Washington asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of the 
five individuals who were killed this past weekend in a mass shooting 
at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington.
  Sarai Lara was a 16-year-old sophomore at Mount Vernon High School, a 
cancer survivor, and her mother described her as her ``right hand.''
  Chuck Eagan was a Boeing maintenance worker from Lake Stevens, 
Washington. He had two daughters. He was planning on retiring next 
year.
  Shayla Martin was a 52-year-old from Mount Vernon and a makeup artist 
at the Macy's where the shooting took place.
  Belinda Galde was a 64-year-old from Arlington, Washington. She had 
served the public for more than two decades as a probation officer at 
the Snohomish County District Courts.
  Beatrice Dotson was Belinda's mother. She was 95 years old.
  I honor these five individuals and express my condolences to their 
families and their friends, and I honor and I thank the law enforcement 
officials whose quick investigation led to the capture of the suspected 
shooter in less than 24 hours.
  Finally, I offer condolences to the community of Burlington, 
Washington, which is undoubtedly struggling to make sense of this 
senseless gun violence that was brought to their doorstep.
