One of the teenagers wounded in a Washington state high school shooting last week has died, raising the number of fatalities from when a student opened fire in a cafeteria to three.

Officials at the Providence Regional Medical Centre said 14-year-old Gia Soriano died on Sunday night.

Another girl was killed during the shooting on Friday at Marysville-Pilchuck High School north of Seattle. The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, died of a self-inflicted wound.

Three other students remain in hospital, two in critical condition and one in serious condition.

Parents and students have gathered in a gymnasium at the school on Sunday for a community meeting, with speakers urging support and prayers and tribal members playing drums and singing songs. Fryberg was from a prominent Tulalip Indian family.
