The number of fatalities involved with the Marysville high school shooting in Washington State has now risen to three, following a report from Providence Regional Medical Center confirming the death of another wounded teen.
The teen has been identified as 14-year-old Gia Soriana and has become the second female teen to die from fatal wounds inflicted by the shooter. The first teen was confirmed dead on Friday, not too long after the shooting.

Three other Marysville-Pilchuck High School students still remain hospitalized including two of the shooters own cousins. Two of them are reportedly in critical condition and one in serious condition.
The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, was a popular freshman football player and was voted the Homecoming Prince just a week prior to the shooting.
Fourteen-year-old Nate Hatch, one of the shooter's cousins, has shown a little improvement, but still remains in intensive care and is in serious condition, according to Harborview Medical Center. The other cousin, 15-year-old Andrew Fryberg, is receiving treatment at the same medical center and also remains in critical condition.
The gunman killed himself during the shooting after an altercation ensued with a first-year teacher attempting to stop the attack. It's unknown whether the gunman killed himself purposely of if the gun fired accidentally in the altercation.
The school held a gathering in the auditorium for parents and students to receive support. The gathering consisted of prayers being made by speakers apart of the community, as well as singing and drums being played by tribal members.
The motive behind the shooting still remains unknown. "Maybe it would be easier if we knew the answer," the school guidance counselor said. "But we may never know."
