Suspect In Southcenter Mall Shooting Waives Extradition



SEATTLE —

A 21-year-old man accused of fatally shooting a teenager at a shopping mall in Tukwila, Wash., has waived extradition and will be returned from Oregon to King County.

Barry Lee Saunders has been charged with murder and assault, KIRO 7 reported.

The shooting last Saturday left one teen dead and a second wounded at the Westfield Southcenter mall.

Saunders was arrested Wednesday after police investigating a call about possible drug activity questioned him in a Portland hotel parking lot.

Travis Sewell, a deputy district attorney for Multnomah County, Ore., said Friday that Saunders' decision means he won't make a court appearance in Portland and will soon be transported to King County.
