Girl Wounded in US School Shooting Dies in Hospital, Bringing Death Toll to Three

MOSCOW, October 27 (RIA Novosti) - The number of victims shot dead in a Washington state high school cafeteria shooting rises to three after one of the wounded teenagers, Gia Soriano, dies in hospital, CNN reports.

Gia Soriano was one of four survivors of the five teenagers targeted by 15-year-old popular freshman Jaylen Fryberg during lunch break at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday before he killed himself.

Medics have been fighting for her life for two days in Providence Medical Center, Everett.

Three other students remain hospitalized, two in critical condition.

Sad situation... sorry for the victims and their families.

Another tragedy is a school shooting.

This particular shooting raises even more concerns because the student shooter does not appear to have the usual "red flags" of behavioral issues or being a "loner" or victim of bullying. In fact, I have not even read where the shooter went onto facebook with threats, or made any other attempts at publicizing his intent beforehand.

***Atleast based on the current released information.

In other words, this shooting appears to indicate that there is no specific profile and ANY student at your childs school may harbor this violent impulse.

It also begets the questions:

1) How did the student gain access to the firearm? (The news reported it was purchased legally--which is absurb since the shooter was not old enough to purchase a firearm. NeverSure?)

2) How did the shooter get the weapon into the school?

The parents are never prosecuted in these instances because public sentiment feels they suffered punishment enough with the loss of their child. Perhaps a criminal charge is callous; however, civil charges by the victims' parents should occur. Parents need to start taking responsibilty for their firearms.

From what I have heard, he was a popular kid but his posts recently were vaguely troubling. I wouldn't have read anything close to "murder" in his online posts. No threats, but real teenage angst. He appears to have been a hunter but he didn't use his hunting rifle for the shootings. If he had a pistol or used a rifle which he assembled at school, it would be easy to smuggle it in under a jacket or in his book bag. Most schools don't see a need for metal detectors in the USA despite the number of school shootings. It will never happen here....

And members of this forum continue on a daily basis to tell the world how dangerous Thailand is and to stay away. If it was so dangerous, why are you all here? Just look at other stories such as this from around the world and you will clearly see that Thailand is no different.

The shooter used a handgun and ALL schools in the USA are very aware that the next school shooting could very easily be theirs and educators are just the opposite of being in denial. They are very concerned.

Appears the reason for this was a love triangle with his cousin and girl friend. He went after his friends/relatives specifically.
