Two
students of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School are dead after one of
them opened fire at the school cafeteria before turning the gun on
himself.
An eyewitness, Jordan Luton told CNN he was finishing his
lunch in the cafeteria at Washington state's Marysville-Pilchuck High
School on Friday when he heard it -- a loud bang. Then there was
another. And another. And another. And another.
What he saw was freshman Jaylen Fryberg go up to a table with students, "came up from behind ...
and fired about six bullets into the students' backs. They were his friends, so it wasn't just random."
Some
of the students began to run. Luton and others hit the ground, some
hiding under tables. Unfortunately, by the time it was over, two people
-- the gunman and a female student -- were dead and four were wounded,
according to authorities. Those wounded were all under the age of 18 and
included two of Jaylen's cousins. They are now intensive care, an
official says.
Jaylen,
authorities said, 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. One week ago, Jaylen Fryberg stood
tall as part of his high school's homecoming court, spurring his fellow
students to cheer.
On Friday, he brought them to tears.
The gun used in the shooting, a "high capacity" weapon, has been traced to Fryberg's father.
