TULALIP — One of the students wounded in a shooting at a Washington state high school has been discharged from a Seattle hospital.
Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg says 14-year-old Nate Hatch was released Thursday. Hatch was shot in the jaw when a student opened fire at Marysville-Pilchuck High School Oct. 24. Four students were fatally wounded. One student, 15-year-old Andrew Fryberg, remains in critical condition. The shooter took his own life.
The Daily Herald reports that more than 200 friends and family gathered along the road leading onto the Tulalip Indian Reservation north of Seattle to welcome Hatch home. He was driven past the crowd in a black tribal police vehicle.
In a statement, Hatch’s family said they appreciated the “amazing support we have received from the community… Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families who have been affected by this horrific tragedy.”
Services are being held Thursday and Friday on the reservation Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, one of the students killed.
