TULALIP — A memorial service for the 15-year-old gunman in a deadly Washington state school shooting was held Thursday on the Tulalip Indian reservation.
Jaylen Fryberg, a homecoming prince who was from a prominent tribal family, was remembered during a crowded ceremony at a recreation center on the reservation north of Seattle.
Tribal police and others wore arm bands that read “In Loving Memory” of Fryberg. Inside the recreation center, a gym was filled with hundreds of mourners. There were photos of Fryberg, and tribal members chanted and played drums.
On Friday, Fryberg pulled out a handgun in the school cafeteria and started shooting.
The victims were Zoe R. Galasso, 14, who died at the scene; Gia Soriano, 14, who died at a hospital Sunday night; Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14, who is in critical condition; and Fryberg’s cousins, Nate Hatch, 14, and Andrew Fryberg, 15. Andrew Fryberg is in critical condition, while Hatch is having surgery to repair his jaw. He’s listed in satisfactory condition.
