Victims’ families: Break silence on shooter’s crimes By Andrew Gobin Herald Writer

TULALIP — The mothers of Nate Hatch and Andrew Fryberg say the silence must end. It’s time for frank discussion about Jaylen Fryberg and his crimes. “It’s about accountability. He has not been made accountable,” Denise “Nessie”
Hatch-Anderson said. Her son, Nate Hatch, 14, is the only surviving victim of the Oct. 24 shootings in a Marysville Pilchuck High School cafeteria. “Jaylen is not a victim. What he did was premeditated, calculated murder,” said Lahneen Fryberg, Andrew’s mother. She worries that the silence
surrounding Jaylen’s actions sends the wrong message, particularly to other young people. Jaylen, 15, shot five of his friends in the head as they sat at a table in the cafeteria where he’d invited them to lunch. Hundreds of students ran for their lives. Killed were Zoe Galasso, Gia Soriano and Shaylee
Chuckulnaskit, all 14. He also shot his cousins — who were as close to him as brothers. Andrew Fryberg, 15, was in a Seattle hospital for two weeks before he died. A bullet shattered Nate’s jaw, lodging in his chest. Detectives have released enough information to show See SILENCE, Page A8

MARYSVILLE — Resiliency and perseverance are both words commonly associated with professional athletes. Whether it be overcoming a deficit or playing through injury, professional athletes deal with and overcome adversity all the time — but not the kind that the student-athletes at Marysville Pilchuck High School have faced since the Oct. 24 shooting on their campus. On Tuesday, the Tomahawks’ girls basketball team went to the gym for a practice like any other, only to get a visit from one of those professional athletes, along with two of her coaches, who wanted to recognize the resiliency and perseverance of a team and a community that has been through a lot in the past 6½ weeks. Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird, a two-time WNBA champion and multiple Olympic gold medal winner, joined by Storm head coach Brian Agler and associate head coach Jenny Boucek surprised the Marysville Pilchuck girls basketball program just moments into practice. Agler, Boucek and Bird have spent a good portion of their lives teaching and showing others how to play basketball. Whether the Tomahawks knew it or not,

it was them doing a lot of the teaching Tuesday. “The word resiliency is definitely something that comes up a lot in basketball,” Bird said. “I know in my life I’ve never had to deal with anything that they’ve
had to deal with. To see them out here still playing and competing and enjoying playing basketball, that shows a lot of resiliency and that’s something that I’m definitely going to learn from this group.”
That sentiment was echoed by Boucek. “Perspective is the biggest thing,” she said. “It’s always a blessing to see people playing basketball or coaching basketball for the love of the game. That’s
why we all started. To see the resiliency of these kids to have gone through what they’ve been through and for basketball to be their getaway from whatever it See STORM, Page A2
