"In Shay's short life she has been a radiant light bringing us incredible joy and happiness."
Jaylen Fryberg, a popular 15-year-old football player, opened fire with a .40 calibre Beretta at the table where two of his cousins and three close friends were gathered at the school.
He died from a fatal gunshot wound.
The shooter had arranged the meeting by text message, police said.

 

 

Fellow student Gia Soriana, 14, died in hospital last Sunday from her injuries, and another girl - who has not been formally identified - died at the scene of the shooting.
Two cousins of the gunman, Nate Hatch, 14, and 15-year-old Andrew Fryberg, remain in hospital.
The gunman's motives remain unclear, but some students hinted at a recent row over a girl as a possible lead-up to the attack.
