MARYSVILLE, Wash. — A student recently crowned freshman class homecoming prince walked into his Seattle-area high school cafeteria Friday and opened fire, killing one person and shooting four others — including two of his cousins — before turning the gun on himself, officials and witnesses said.
Students said the gunman was staring at his victims as he shot them inside the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. 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.
The gunman was identified as student Jaylen Fryberg, a government official with direct knowledge of the shooting told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Students and parents said Fryberg was a member of a prominent family from the nearby Tulalip Indian tribes and a freshman who played on the high school football team. He was introduced at a football game as a prince in the 2014 homecoming court, according to a video shot by parent Jim McGauhey.
Marysville Police Commander Robb Lamoureux said the gunman died of a self-inflicted wound, but he could not provide more details.
Shaylee Bass, 15, a sophomore at the school, said Fryberg had recently gotten into a fight with another boy over a girl.

".........Since the Supreme Court's 1978 majority opinion in Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, tribal courts were not allowed to have jurisdiction over a non-Indian person. Through the passage of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA 2013) signed into law on March 7, 2013 by President Barack Obama, tribal courts will be allowed to exercise special criminal jurisdiction over certain crimes of domestic and dating violence. This new law generally takes effect on March 7, 2015, but also authorizes a voluntary "Pilot Project" to allow certain tribes to begin exercising special jurisdiction beginning Feb. 20, 2014. Three tribes were selected for this Pilot Project: the Pascua Yaqui Tribe (Arizona), the Tulalip Tribes of Washington, and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (Oregon)...."
Maybe when they get done with this story they can start looking into Ben Ghazi and Fast & Furious.
Hopefully it will dawn on these students that their politically correct posturing and behavior is contrary to reality and quite dangerous. These kids are being programmed to accept delusional thinking and live in a fantasy world.
I’m surprised that nobody in the liberal media has chimed in with some snarky “Indian on the warpath” jibe. You know, because they *aren’t* racists, they can do things like that.
What is a homecoming prince?
Is that an affirmative action position?

I think what you are saying with that news clipping is that it will be the responsibility of the tribal court system to get this poor, discriminated against, minority man off.
Normally that opportunity to pass social justice is allowed to the state court system.
Sorry, but he looks like a Pre-thug.
No need. He is dead.
“Jaylen Fryberg” is an Indian name?
His mother may be native American, but this boy’s father is from another tribe/race....
Kinda like it's okay to go mock Bristol Palin after she's attacked by a drunken thug but it's not okay to go after Joe Biden's son for getting kicked out of The Navy for cocaine use.
No statement from Fauxcahontas, either .........
Hehe, you mean I was supposed to read the entire headline before commenting?!
Yes but parents who let their psycho brats take guns to school should face punishment. Is accessory to murder before the fact a crime?
Really? He doesn’t look “Native American.”
I visited the reservation of the Makah tribe on the Olympic peninsula in May.
They are very un PC. They had signs up at the reservation high school and in town urging victory on their teams..... The Red Devils
Take that you PC eastern moonbat Redskin Haters
If you type in his name in a search engine, there are many pictures- he looks Indian to me in some of them.
Please do describe for me the “appearance” of a pre- thug? I’m curious. To me he looks like the typical 15 year old kid trying to look cool. Is it the sweatshirt? The head phones?
The hoodie and the look on his face.....BORED WITH LIFE!
