Authorities
have identified the gunman as Jaylen Fryberg. Fryberg’s Facebook page
shows him living in Tulalip Bay, nine miles from Marysville-Pilchuck
High School where police say two students were killed and at least four others injured in the Friday morning shooting.
“I can't believe I just witnessed
a shooting,” Austin Joyner, a student at the school, said on Twitter.
“Kid came into the cafeteria and walked over to a table and pulled out
the gun and shot 4-6 shots at students sitting down.”
The Seattle Times reported that
several students told them that Fryberg, a freshman, was responsible.
Kobe Baumann, 14, told the paper that he was with Fryberg in English
class right before the shooting, and that he appeared kind of nervous.
“He sits right up in the front,” Baumann said. “He got called on but he just kept his head down and didn’t really say anything.”
Fryberg’s social media accounts
tell of his interests in sports, music, hunting, Native American
activities and family affairs. He posted many pictures of him and the
same girl, often commenting about his crust.
“I love you baby girl,” Fryberg
wrote when he posted their picture on his Instagram account. “I promise
to love you for the rest of my life.”
Girl You My Angel. Your My Darling Angel😍🙌

He was clearly still smitten at the beginning of the summer, but somewhere along the way his messages took a sour turn.
Jarron Webb, 15, confirmed to the Seattle Times that the shooter was angry at a girl who would not date him.
Some of Fryberg's tweets over the
last few months — such as “Your not gonna like what happens next‼” —
appear to be threatening, but it is unknown who he might have been
targeting.
He sent his final tweet on Thursday.
