15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg opened fire at Washington state's Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday before killing himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to The Washington Post.
Despite the tragedy of the last week's shooting, fellow students at the Washington state high school are reportedly remembering Jaylen Fryberg through the makeshift memorial that's been organized.
"Jaylen you're an amazing kid I love you," read one message that was scrawled on a red balloon hanging from the fence of Marysville-Pilchuck High School, according to Radar Online.
Another message read, "Jaylen, I may not have known you that well but I've heard nothing but great things about you. R.I.P."
The teenager was reportedly described by friends and community members as "happy" and a "golden boy" and it seems he's being remembered as just that by his fellow peers.
"Jaylen, I will never forget you and your beautiful smile," read another balloon tribute.
14-year-old Gia Soriano, one of the victims of the shooting, died Sunday night, more than two days after she was shot, stated officials at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, according to the media outlet Keyetv. Gia is reportedly the second victim to lose her life in the shooting after Zoe Galasso, who was reportedly shot and killed at the school on Friday.
"We are devastated by this senseless tragedy," Soriano's family said in a statement read at a news conference by Joanne Roberts, a doctor at Providence.
"Gia is our beautiful daughter, and words cannot express how much we will miss her," continued the statement.
Her family has reportedly stated that they will donate her organs.
"Our daughter was loving and kind and this gift honors her life," they continued in a statement.
Three other victims, Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, Andrew Fryberg and Nate Hatch, reportedly remain hospitalized.
The motives behind the shooting are still unclear.
"Only God knows what escalated this. Only God knows. Nobody pushed a button with bullying. It's just something that happened, and we don't know why," Nate Hatch's grandfather Don Hatch told KOMO.
