Jaylen
Fryberg, a popular 15-year-old student (pictured above) yesterday Oct
24, opened fire in the cafeteria of Marysville-Pilchuck High School in
Marysville killing one student and critically injuring 4 others. Jaylen
would have wrecked more havoc but he was accosted by a teacher named
Megan Silberberger while he was trying to reload his gun. The boy then
pointed the gun at the teacher before turning it to himself and shooting
himself dead.
The four victims said to be in critical conditions are currently receiving treatments at the Providence Regional Hospital. Two were admitted to theater for surgery, while the remaining two were transported to nearby Harborview Medical Center. The school has now been closed until November 3.
Fryberg
has been described as a popular freshman and a member of the
Marysville-Pilchuk football team, but he was recently suspended for
fighting. He was also an avid hunter and gun enthusiast, as evidenced by
photos posted on his social media accounts.
Although
the motive for his action is yet to be determined, a student told the
Seattle Times that Fryberg was angry at a girl for spurning his advance,
and that he shot her dead as payback for her rejection. Jayden on the
eve of his shooting, wrote an ominous final post on Twitter that read:
'it won't last.... It'll never last.... ' He has actually been twitting
very ominous tweets in the last few months.
