Andrew Fryberg and Nate Hatch were cousins to the shooter Jaylen Fryberg who died of self inflicted wounds. He was said to have invited the victims to lunch by text messages, shot them at their table, then killed himself.
Other victims were, Zoe Galazzo, 14, was killed during the shooting on October 24. Gia Soriano, 14, died October 26 at the Providence Regional Medical Centre and 14-year-old Shylee Chuckulnaskit died October 31 at the Everett hospital.
In a statement Friday night, the Tulalip Tribes said they and Marysville “will be forever changed as a result of the senseless and tragic incident that took place on the morning of Oct. 24 and know that healing will not happen overnight. We remain committed to taking this journey together, step by step, holding up the families most impacted and helping our communities heal.”
The school 30 miles north of Seattle reopened Monday after being closed for a week. Hundreds of people lined the entrance. Well-wishers waved at returning students and many held candles. People cheered as buses and cars entered the school campus.
The school day started with an assembly. Students ate lunch in the gym because the cafeteria where the shooting took place remains closed.
