Chaos in Washington high school as student opens fire at cafeteria

Chaos broke out when a student walked into his high school cafeteria yesterday (Friday, October 24) shot and killed one person, while injuring four others (including two of his cousins); before turning the gun on himself, officials and witnesses have said.

Students said the 15-year-old gunman (identified as Jaylen Fryberg) was staring at his victims as he shot them inside the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, Washington (USA).

The shootings set off a chaotic scene as students ran from the cafeteria and building in a frantic dash to safety, while others were told to stay put inside classrooms at the school 30 miles north of Seattle.
