MARYSVILLE, Wash. — Investigators say that the gunman responsible for the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday invited his victims to lunch by text message.
Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary told a news conference Monday the five students were all at a lunch table when they were shot by 15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg.
Trenary also confirmed that the .40-caliber handgun used in the shooting had been purchased legally by one of Fryberg’s relatives. It remains unclear how Fryberg obtained the weapon.
Two 14-year-old girls were killed, and three students remain hospitalized. Fryberg also killed himself. Gia Soriano died Sunday night, and her organs will be donated for transplant, officials at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett said.
Zoe R. Galasso, 14, died of a gunshot wound to the head.
