Students Tweet Support For Reported High School Shooter

Students from a high school in Washington where a gunman opened fire in the cafeteria Friday morning have been tweeting their support of the apparent shooter who some students say was a good kid.

Family members have identified Marysville-Pilchuck High School freshman Jaylen Fryberg as the shooter. He allegedly killed one person and injured four others, three of whom are in critical condition.

Fryberg was named to the school's homecoming court last week, according to CNN. Students who knew him said he was popular.

He appeared to be upset about a break-up. One student told The Seattle Times that one of the students who was shot was a girl who refused to date Fryberg.

Several students have been tweeting their support of Fryberg and his family:

You don't know what he dealt with on a daily basis, why don't you ask what troubled him so much to take it to this extent.

Don't you dare speak of Jaylen badly...he is loved and will always be loved. He just wasn't in the right state of mind...I love him.

Seriously, news does nothing but say negative stuff about Jaylen. If you knew him, you'd know he wasn't a bad kid!

This runs counter to many other school shootings carried out by students who are described as "loners" and vilified by their classmates after the fact.

Based on social media postings, it appears that Fryberg was a hunter and had access to guns. A recent Instagram photo from an account that appears to by Fryberg's shows him with a rifle:

Probably the best BirthDay present ever! I just love my parents!!!????

Fryberg sent out some troubling tweets on an account that appears to be his over recent months as well, detailing relationship problems.
