Sheriff: Washington State School Shooter Invited Victims To Lunch, Then Shot Them At Table
MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) — A popular student responsible for a shooting at a Washington state high school on Friday invited his victims to lunch by text message, then shot them at their table, investigators said Monday.
Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary said at a news conference that the five students were at a lunch table when they were shot by 15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg. Fryberg then committed suicide.
Detectives are digging through reams of text messages, phone and social media records as part of an investigation that could take months, Trenary said.
"The question everybody wants is, 'Why?'" Trenary said. "I don't know that the 'why' is something we can provide."
Fryberg, a football player who was named a prince on the school's Homecoming court one week before the killings, was a member of a prominent Tulalip Indian Tribes family. He seemed happy although he was also upset about a girl, friends said. His Twitter feed was recently full of vague, anguished postings, like "It won't last ... It'll never last," and "I should have listened. ... You were right ... The whole time you were right."
