A high school cafeteria worker tried to stop a gunman who opened fire on a crowded lunchroom north of Seattle, killing one girl and badly wounding four others, AP cited authorities as saying on Saturday.
The shooter was Jaylen Fryberg, a popular Marysville-Pilchuck High School freshman, a government official with direct knowledge of the shooting said. Fryberg was well-liked and athletic, a football player named to his high school's homecoming court just one week ago.
