Marysville School Shooter Memorialized

Alongside his victims.

The teenager who murdered two of his classmates before killing himself is being memorialized at his Washington state high school. Jaylen Fryberg gunned down five of his friends after he texted them to join him for lunch. Two were killed and three, including two of his cousins, were seriously wounded. At Marysville-Pilchuck High School, there are rows of plastic cups with candles for each of the students, including Fryberg. Tributes to Fryberg, who was named homecoming prince just a week before the shooting, include a white wrestling shoe and a youth football photo. “Jaylen where do I begin, you were my brother my best friend love you bro,” read one message. “Generally the shooter is not someone who was this loved over time,” said Carolyn Reinach Wolf, a mental-health attorney. “This is a very different response. People are able to get past the grief of the victims and see that the shooter’s family is grieving and horrified just as much.”
