911 calls from school shooting: 'I need help'

By MARTHA BELLISLE

SEATTLE (AP) — The strong, determined voice told a 911 dispatch operator that she was standing with the Washington state student who had just opened fire inside a high school cafeteria.

"I have the shooter. One shooter," teacher Megan Silberberger told the operator. "Blood is everywhere. I need help. I need help now."

Other witnesses to the Oct. 24 shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School have called Silberberger a hero for trying to intervene when a popular freshman student, Jaylen Fryberg, opened fire at a group of friends. On Wednesday, authorities released the 911 calls from students, parents, neighbors, school workers and Silberberger, a first-year social studies teacher. The series of calls revealed the trauma of the situation but also the teacher's attempts to save lives.

Four teenagers died from injuries sustained in the shooting. One student who was seriously hurt was released from the hospital last week. Jaylen Fryberg killed himself.
