Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP)  A popular student responsible for a shooting at a Washington state high school on Friday invited his victims to lunch by text message, then shot them at their table, investigators said Monday. Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary said at a news conference that the five students were at a lunch table when they were shot by 15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg. Fryberg then committed suicide. Detectives are digging through reams of text messages, phone and social media records as part of an investigation that could take months, Trenary said. "The question everybody wants is, 'Why?'" Trenary said. "I don't know that the 'why' is something we can provide." Fryberg, a football player who was named a prince on the school's Homecoming court one week before the killings, was a member of a prominent Tulalip Indian Tribes family. He seemed happy although he was also upset about a girl, friends said. His Twitter feed was recently full of vague, anguished postings, like "It won't last ... It'll never last," and "I should have listened. ... You were right ... The whole time you were right." On Friday, after texting five friends to invite them to lunch, he pulled out a handgun in the cafeteria and started shooting. The victims were Zoe R. Galasso, 14, who died at the scene; Gia Soriano, 14, who died at a hospital Sunday night; Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14, who remains in critical condition; and his two cousins, Nate Hatch, 14, and Andrew Fryberg, 15. Hatch, who was shot in the jaw, is the only victim who has shown improvement. He was upgraded to satisfactory condition Monday in intensive care at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, while Andrew Fryberg remained in critical condition there. Soriano's family said her organs would be donated. "We are devastated by this senseless tragedy," her family said in a statement, read at a news conference by Providence Regional Medical Center's Dr. Joanne Roberts. "Gia is our beautiful daughter, and words cannot express how much we will miss her." Trenary also confirmed that the .40-caliber handgun used in the shooting had been legally purchased by one of Fryberg's relatives. It remains unclear how Fryberg obtained the weapon. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner on Monday ruled Fryberg's death a suicide. There had been some question over whether he might have shot himself accidentally as a teacher tried to intervene, but Trenary said Monday that investigators confirmed there was no physical contact between the teacher and the gunman. At the memorial outside the school Monday, a group of mourners hugged each other tightly at 10:39 a.m.  the minute the shooting was reported Friday. Flowers and signs were zip-tied to a chain-link fence lined with red and white balloons reflecting the school's colors. Many referenced the victims and said they'd be missed.

FKAJAKE 5 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 it doesn't matter if it's in the constitution, guns should not be as easily available to children So tragic, though the impact is almost lost because of how many school shootings there are in the US :cry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication seems to be he stole the gun from a relative who owned it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveDrugPNW 430 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm from marysville. I lived there for nearly ten years. All of my early childhood memories and friends are there. It's home for me. One of my friends knew the Soriano girl, their families are really close. I have other friends who were in that lunch room four months ago before they graduated. This shooting is way too close to home for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something NEEDS to be done to stop more innocent lives being lost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something NEEDS to be done to stop more innocent lives being lost rather than blame the stupid people who didn't leave their gun in a locked safe, like logical people, lets blame the law. Right.

theMonster5 74 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 This Huffington Post video say that the shooter has a crush on this girl who later date his cousin instead. That's why he shot people he know like his cousins because he was heart-broken and can't live anymore. Watch the video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
