Marysville School District: Show about shooting is painful, inappropriate

This browser does not support the video element.

The Marysville School District has contacted Hulu to express their concerns over a storyline in a Hulu original series called "The Path."

There is a character in the fictional drama about cults who is from Marysville, Wash., and says his twin sister and four of their friends were shot to death by a classmate during school.

In "The Path," the character says the shooting was driven by racism.

The district contacted Hulu corporate but did not receive a response.

The school district says not only does the series inaccurately depict a real tragedy -- the October 2014 shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School that left five dead, including the gunman, and wounded three others. The district also said it unnecessarily reopens old wounds.

KIRO 7 reporter reached out to Hulu as well and has not yet heard back. But she did speak with people impacted by the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting who say the TV show representation goes beyond inappropriate and is painful.
