SEATTLE (AP) — The father of the Washington teenager who fatally shot four high school classmates and then himself in October now faces additional federal firearms charges.

Raymond Lee Fryberg pleaded not guilty in April to illegally possessing the gun used in the slayings. Federal prosecutors say he was the subject of a domestic violence protection order issued by the Tulalip Tribal Court in 2002. Federal law prohibits such a person from having firearms.

A federal grand jury indicted him this week on five new charges.

The indictment says Fryberg had a cache of weapons, mostly rifles, in addition to the one Jaylen Fryberg used at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Each of the five new counts is for a specific rifle or rifles.

Fryberg is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on the new charges.
