Gia Soriano shot in Marysville.

Gia Soriano, one of four students wounded in the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School near Seattle last Friday, has died, hospital officials said. The girl, who was 14, suffered a gunshot wound to the head in the shooting spree by another teenager, identified as Jaylen Fryberg. She had been in critical condition at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett. “We are devastated by this senseless tragedy,” Dr. Joanne Roberts said in a statement on behalf of Gia’s family. “Gia is our beautiful daughter and words cannot express how much we will miss her.” Another teenager, Zoe Galasso, also was killed in the attack; she was mourned during a candlelight vigil at the school Sunday. Three other students remain hospitalized: Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14, and Andrew Fryberg, 15 (the shooter’s cousin), are in critical condition, and Nate Hatch, 14, is in serious condition. Jaylen Fryberg killed himself.
