MARYSVILLE, Wash., Nov. 8 (UPI) -- The number of fatalities in last month's Marysville school shooting rose five Friday -- four victims plus the shooter -- as one of the wounded teens died from his injuries at Harborview Medical Center.
Andrew Fryberg, 15 years old, died Friday evening after two weeks in intensive care. Fryberg was one of five students at Marysville-Pilchuck High School shot by classmate and cousin Jaylen Fryberg, 15, who turned the gun on himself after his rampage in the school's cafeteria.
One of the five shot, 14-year-old Zoe Galasso, died on the scene. Gia Soriano and Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, also 14, died in the days following the tragedy. Now the lone survivor, 14-year-old Nate Hatch, also a cousin of the gunman, was released from the hospital earlier this week.
Andrew Fryberg's family issued a statement shortly after the teen's death, thanking the doctors and nurses who tried to save the boy, and also requesting privacy.
"Our family is overwhelmed with the love and care that has been provided to our loved one during this time and you all will forever hold a special place in our hearts," the statement said.
Friday's tragic news came only hours after hundreds gathered at the Tulalip Indian Reservation for Shaylee "Shay Shay" Chuckulnaskit's funeral service. Shaylee and the three cousins were all members of the Tulalip Indian Tribe.
"Shaylee was very outgoing, confident, silly, persistent, fearless, and she mirrored God's forgiving ways," read an obituary published in The Everett Herald this week. "She was also a fighter with spirit and had faith that could move mountains."
