Jaylen Fryberg is reportedly the shooter in the Pilchuck High School shooting incident.
Fryberg was a freshman at the school, and like many of his peers, openly shared his thoughts online. While his emotions were wide-ranging, some of his recent Twitter posts, in particular, were emotional and angry.
His Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram also featured heavily a girl who appears to have been his girlfriend. According to reports from other students, the two may recently have broken up.
Such reports also say that he may have recently been in a fight at football practice, and had been suspended from school, returning only days before the shooting.

The break-up seems to have happened recently, after the two attended Homecoming together. In a picture from the girl’s Twitter account, she shared a picture of their feet in matching sneakers.
She posted this picture of the two on August 3rd.

The New York Times reported that he said on Facebook,
“The thing is, is I don’t always just go out an shoot something. It’s not my favorite part about hunting. My favorite part about it is about just being in the woods. Just me my dad an my brother. An even if I’m sitting in the passenger seat sleeping it doesn’t matter. I like to be in the woods an that’s it.”
