The gunman who killed one individual before taking his own life at a high school north of Seattle on Friday has been identified as Jaylen Fryberg, according to multiple media outlets.
Fryberg, a freshman at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Washington, allegedly opened fire in the school’s cafeteria, injuring four and killing another.
Police said at a Friday evening press conference that the dead victim was a female student at the school. Law enforcement declined to officially confirm the shooter’s identity.
Fryberg was said to be popular among his classmates. According to CNN, he was crowned as the school’s freshman homecoming king just last week.
“Everybody knew him. Everybody liked him,” student Bryce Vitcovitch told NBC. “This is just a huge shock to everybody. For the most part, he was a really happy kid.”
Ah, it becomes clearer. Obviously, there was no way this kid did it on his own and he couldn’t possibly have had any motive or mental illness because he was popular etc. etc. Clearly, Obama had this kid secretly brainwashed and programmed by the CIA over the summer break so he could take everyone’s guns.
Good local coverage on KIRO-TV

He did it for Johnny.
Why are they using stock footage of Sheriffs and LEOs of Sacramento County, California, on a story about a Seattle-area school?
In fact, I recognize the background…it’s the movie theater directly across from the CalExpo racetrack in Sacramento.
…but it’s hardly germane to the story.
