Authorities Confirm Some Details in Marysville-Pilchuck High School Shooting
ME Causes of Death:
The medical examiner ruling released today says Fryberg died of a gunshot wound to the head and his death has been ruled a suicide (the story of him being hit by the student teacher and accidentally shooting himself in the neck appears to be a faulty eyewitness account -- happens).
The medical examiner ruled Zoe Galasso's death a homicide. She was shot in the head and died at the school.
Gia Soriano died today after having been shot in the head on Friday -- the official ME report has not yet been released. The family statement today indicated that they plan to donate her organs. RIP Gia.
Hospitalized Victims' Current Status:
Andrew Fryberg and Shaylee Chuckulnaskit were both shot in the head and remain in critical condition.
Nate Hatch who was shot in the jaw (HOTD: one earlier report said the neck, but that's been corrected) showed improvement and was upgraded to satisfactory condition today. Good news.
Statement from Tribal Member:
Fryberg was from a prominent family from the Tulalip Indian tribes. A tribal guidance counselor, Matt Remle, has an office at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, which is 30 miles north of Seattle.
Remle said he knew Fryberg and the other students well. "My office has been a comfort space for Native students," he said. "Many will come by and have lunch there, including the kids involved in the shooting."
They all were "really happy, smiling kids," Remle said. "They were a polite group. A lot of the kids from the freshman class were close-knit. "These were not kids who were isolated," he said. "They had some amazing families and have amazing families."
