Jaylen Fryberg & Cousin Andrew Fought Over A Girl Before Shooting

Jaylen Fryberg allegedly had a falling out with his cousin, Andrew Fryberg, just weeks before he shot Andrew and four other classmates at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Oct. 24. The cousins were fighting over a girl, who is one of the victims of the attack, a new report claims. Two of the victims of Jaylen Fryberg's rampage at Marysville-Pilchuck High School were his own cousins. Jaylen, 15, was reportedly angry with his cousin Andrew Fryberg, 15, because a girl he liked fancied Andrew instead. Jaylen also allegedly shot the girl they were fighting over, according to the victim's friend. This is just so sad.
