Police: Student shooter dead after school attack

MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Police say a lone shooter is dead after an attack at a high school north of Seattle.

Marysville Police Commander Robb Lamoureux (LAM’-or-oh) said the shooter was a student, but he did not have any additional information including where in the school the shooting took place and if anyone else was killed or wounded.

Many students and staff members were seen walking out of Marysville Pilchuck High School, about 30 miles north of Seattle, after police and ambulance crews surrounded the campus. Lamoureux said police were going room by room, searching the school to make sure it was safe.

There were conflicting reports about the number of possible injuries. A spokeswoman at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, said the facility was expecting one patient but had no other information.
