MOSCOW, October 27 (RIA Novosti)  - The number of victims shot dead in a Washington state high school cafeteria shooting rises to three after one of the wounded teenagers, Gia Soriano, dies in hospital, CNN reports.

Gia Soriano was one of four survivors of the five teenagers targeted by 15-year-old popular freshman Jaylen Fryberg during lunch break at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday before he killed himself.

Medics have been fighting for her life for two days in Providence Medical Center, Everett.

Three other Marysville-Pilchuck High School students wounded by the shooter remain in critical condition. Andrew Fryberg and Nate Hatch, Fryberg's cousins, are among the wounded, as well as 14-year-old Shaylee Chuckulnaskit.

The incident took place Friday at Marysville-Pilchuck High School north of Seattle, Washington. The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, was a freshman recently suspended from the high school football team for fighting. He reportedly was a very popular student from a well-respected family. The shooter died after opening fire. It is yet unclear if it was intentional or if the gun went off when one of his teachers tried to stop him.
