3rd victim in Marysville school shooting dies

SEATTLE — A 14-year-old girl who was critically injured after a student opened fire inside a Marysville high school cafeteria last week has died, raising the death toll in the shooting to four.

Shaylee Chuckulnaskit died Friday afternoon, a week after she was shot in the head, officials at Providence Regional Medical Center said.

"The entire Providence family is deeply saddened by this news and we extend our heartfelt sympathy to Shaylee's family," Dr. Anita Tsen of Providence said in a statement.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that Zoe Galasso, 14, was also killed in the Oct. 24 shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Gia Soriano, 14, died Sunday from critical head injuries in the shooting.

The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, died at the scene of a self-inflicted wound.

Two other students remain hospitalized. Andrew Fryberg, 15, is in critical condition in intensive care at Harborview Medical Center. Nate Hatch, 14, was upgraded to satisfactory condition after undergoing surgery Thursday to repair his jaw. Both are cousins of the shooter.

After a week off because of the shooting, students at Marysville-Pilchuck High School return to classes Monday. While a typical school day begins at 7 a.m., classes are scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. instead. The school will have grief counselors available, said Aaron Toso, spokesman for the school district.

"Our hearts are broken at the passing of our beautiful daughter," Shaylee Chuckulnaskit's family said in a statement released by Providence officials. "Shay means everything to us. In Shay's short life she has been a radiant light bringing us incredible joy and happiness. She has been a loving daughter, a caring sister, a devoted friend and a wonderful part of our community. We can't imagine life without her."

The family also thanked medics and hospital officials.

Newly released police radio traffic recordings from the shooting scene showed officers faced a daunting task as they responded to reports of a shooter. They learned they would have to secure a maze of buildings that make up the sprawling campus.

About a minute after 911 dispatchers reported at 10:39 a.m. Oct. 24 that they were receiving calls of a shooting in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School cafeteria, one officer got on the radio from inside and said: "It's confirmed. We have a shooter. We have five down."

A few seconds later he added, "The shooter is DOA. We've got apparently four" and then "the shooter is down. Two causalities." Two minutes later: "I have two that are still breathing and alive. Looks like I have three possibly deceased."

Jaylen Fryberg, a freshman, was quickly identified as the person who opened fire at his classmates before killing himself.

The recordings were sent to The Associated Press in response to a public records request.

Services for the shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, were held Thursday on the Tulalip Reservation.

A celebration of life for Zoe Galasso will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Word of Life Lutheran Brethren Church in Marysville.

An obituary for 14-year-old Gia Soriano said a memorial service for her would be held later.
