She and four other students were shot October 24 in the cafeteria of Marysville Pilchuck High School.

Shaylee's family issued a statement shortly after her death.

wonderful part of our community. We can't imagine life without her."
Tulalip Tribes, a federally recognized Indian tribe, said the Chuckulnaskit family is part of its extended community.
"The Tulalip Tribes
