Early this afternoon, Komo 4 News reported that there were several shots fired in the cafeteria of Pilchuck High School, and that students and teachers were locked in the classroom as incoming authorities rapidly attempted to get the situation under control.Shortly after, CBS News reported the arrival of three injured people, one of whom wassuffering from h

ead trauma. At the time Fryberg opened fire, allegedly 50 to 60 people were in the cafeteria.

Shortly before 3pm, the Seattle Times reported that Fryberg was dead, the victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and about an hour later, CNN reported that Fryberg’s actions were responsible for the death of a second person, who has yet to be identified. Later in the afternoon, it would be revealed that Fryberg’s actions were spurred by his being distraught over a girl who wouldn’t date him.
