A student opened fire, on Friday, in the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Marysville, some 30 miles north of Seattle, killing a classmate and wounding at least four others before he was killed amid the chaos of students scrambling to safety, authorities said. Witnesses described the gunman as a well-liked freshman and member of the school’s wrestling and football teams. They said he walked into the school’s cafeteria at lunchtime and opened fire at a table of classmates.
“He came up from behind and had a gun in his hand and he fired about 8 bullets into backs of them. They were his friends so it wasn’t just random,” student Jordan Luton told CNN, adding that the gunman fired several more shots.
“Then he turned and looked at me and my girlfriend … and kind of gave us a smirk and turned around and then shot more bullets outside,” Luton said.
