WA - Four killed in Pilchuk High School shooting, Marysville, 24 Oct 2014

[MsMarple]

An Amber Alert has just been issued for a missing 6-year-old boy, Matthew James Hudson, so it may be awhile before we get more updates.

They are believed to be in a silver 2006 Honda Accord, license plate FM #ABD0291. The car also has a large dent on the front passenger door.
...
The boy is autistic, developmentally disabled and has asthma and eczema, police said. The suspect is also developmentally disabled, authorities said.

What a night!

Friends of Gia's posted on Twitter about 3-4 hours ago that she hadn't died at the school, and was back in surgery. Then the comments that she had passed in surgery not long ago.

Looking at these young people's social media accounts is breaking my heart. Something I've noticed, too, is how the community is coming together for all of the victims and their families, including Jaylen. Very touching how close knit everyone is, and how they support each other no matter what. Most have nothing but good things to say about the young man.

So tragic...

Who is it that's supposed to have a presser at 9:00 Pacific time? Is it the hospital or the police?

The police.

I wonder if the confusion is due to the families having trouble identifying the girls. Someone had posted that there were serious facial injuries. Looking at their photos they all appear to be very similar in appearance.

Sadly, I think that you're correct

I hadn't thought of that but you may be right. Just thinking about it makes me a little queasy.

Well, the presser was one of the worst I have ever seen. Why hold one just to say "I don't know."

Not much new information. Still processing scene.

Swat concluded @ 4:45. SMART is on scene. Expect to wrap up by 4 am.

Will be providing info on victims after 5 pm tomorrow.

Active investigation.

Press release 7 am for info on weapon, etc.

Most responses to Q & A = still part of the investigation, don't know, etc.

No more witnesses on scene, witnesses at hospital though.

Cut short.

No info on any more deaths.

How does the timeline on Twitter work? That says 2:21 a.m. on Sat. 10/25

Perhaps twitter does YOUR local time as it says 7:21 pm Friday on my screen.

Really! Why all the non answers now?

All I really wanted was confimation (or not) on a third death. Bah.

 

[mnegri1973]

Watching CNN right now and hearing them say "this young man's social media took a turn in the last few day".......wow.....I was only able to stomach reading back to the end of May and from what I saw this kid was out of control way longer then the "last few days".

No, it was 10:21p my time...I checked.

Wonder if standard protocol encouraged the cousins to be moved to the other hospital... so that shooters family/distant family of cousins didn't have to be around the families of the other victims?
