MARYSVILLE — Jordan Reynolds was in the school cafeteria. The sophomore didn’t see the shooting. But as soon as the shots stopped, she ran out with a bunch of classmates who hid in a small, dark room. She called her mom. Almost everyone crammed in the room was on a phone. “Within 10 minutes, I was getting texts from people who didn’t even live in Marysville but knew what happened,” she said. “It’s crazy how fast word travels.” It’s also scary, she said. No one in that room knew what to believe. They heard there were six students dead, then two students dead, maybe a teacher, maybe more. So much

MARYSVILLE — Freshman Gia Soriano died Sunday, two days after being shot in the head during lunch in a cafeteria at Marysville Pilchuck High School. The death of Gia, 14, a girl who had dark hair, dark eyes and a bright smile, brings to three the grim toll of Friday’s trauma, in which Jaylen Fryberg shot five of his classmates. He is among the dead. Zoe Raine Galasso, 14, was killed during the shooting. “Gia Soriano, 14, passed away about 15 minutes ago as a result of her injuries suffered on Friday,” said Dr. Joanne Roberts, chief medical officer at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett. Reading a statement from the girl’s family, Roberts continued. “We are devastated by this senseless tragedy. Gia is our beautiful daughter and words cannot express how much we will miss her. We’ve made the decision to donate Gia’s organs so that others may benefit. Our daughter was loving, kind and this gift honors her life.” The family also asked for time to grieve. Three teens remain in area hospitals with life-threatening head wounds. Andrew Fryberg, 15, was in critical condition in intensive care at Harborview Medical Center. Nate Hatch, 14, was also there, in serious but improving condition. The boys are cousins of the shooter. Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14, remained in critical condition at Providence. The news came about eight hours after
