A 911 caller reported the shooting at 10:39 a.m. Friday, Marysville Police Commander Robb Lamoureux said. School security officers arrived at the cafeteria two minutes later, then confirmed \"the shooter was down.\"

\"They're traumatized -- there's no doubt about it,\" Lamoureux said of the students. \"There's a lot of healing that has to take place in this community.\"

Brian Patrick, the father of a girl who said she was 10 feet from the gunman, told The Associated Press that his daughter told him Fryberg shot his schoolmates in a calm, methodical way.

\"The guy walked into the cafeteria, pulled out a gun and started shooting,\" he said of his daughter's account. \"No arguing, no yelling.\"

Marysville-Pilchuck High School will be closed all of next week, and the football game that was scheduled for this evening was cancelled after the opposing team offered to take second place, schools Superintendent Becky Berg said.

\"We are indeed heartsick,\" Berg said Friday.
