15 year old Andrew Fryberg passed away Friday evening. He is the fifth teen to die in the Marysville school shooting. Predeceasing him were his girlfriend Zoe, friends Shaylee and Gia, and his cousin Jaylen Fryberg. Jaylen's death has been ruled a suicide, but some witnesses say he didn't intend to kill himself, the gun went off when a teacher tried to disarm him and a bullet struck him in the neck.

Nate Hatch, Jaylen's 14 year old cousin who was shot in the jaw, is the only survivor among those who were shot. He was released from the hospital Thursday, and attended a memorial for Shaylee on Friday evening.

Jaylen's motive is still unknown.

    ... how Jaylen Freyberg got his hands on it. This was readily avoidable, had only that firearm been secured.

    of yours here. This is just so tragic. And sad for everyone who are not even personally connected with these kids. But thank you for covering it J.

    That sounds like a pointless question.

    Even if you found out, it's sure to be miniscule and trivial to the actions Jaylen took.
