(AP) - A victim of a shooting at a Washington state high school says he forgives the boy who did it - his cousin.
Fourteen-year-old Nate Hatch is recovering at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle from a gunshot wound to the jaw.
He's one of five students who were shot in the cafeteria of Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday by Jaylen Fryberg, a popular student who invited his victims to lunch and shot them at their table before killing himself.
Hatch wrote on his Twitter feed, "I love you and I forgive you jaylen rest in peace." A friend confirmed the feed's authenticity to The Associated Press.
Two teen girls were killed in the shooting, one was critically injured, and two boys - both Fryberg's cousins - were also injured.
