A father today pleaded not guilty to illegally buying a firearm his 15-year-old son then took to school to kill four of his classmates and take his own life. Raymond Lee Fryberg Jr. was arraigned in Seattle on Thursday, nearly six months after his son Jaylen Fryberg killed four students at Marysville Pilchuck High School then himself. Fryberg had been the subject of a permanent domestic violence protection order that prohibited him from ever having firearms when he allegedly bought a Beretta pistol in January 2013. According to the criminal complaint, the order was against him in Tulalip Tribal Court in 2002 by a girlfriend who said he had threatened her, slapped her and pulled her hair. In court: Raymond Lee Fryberg Jr. walks out of the Federal Courthouse in Seattle on Thursday after he pleaded not guilty to illegally possessing a firearm. His son Jaylen used the gun to kill four classmates last year . Support: Fryberg, who is accused of lying about whether he had a restraining order against him when he bought the gun in January 2013, attended court with eight friends and family members . He allegedly bought the firearm from a gun shop and answered 'no' on the federal firearms purchasing form when asked if he was the subject of a restraining order that prohibits him from 'harassing, stalking or threatening your child or an intimate partner'. Fryberg's lawyer, John Henry Browne, previously said that 'there was never an order prohibiting him from owning or even purchasing firearms' from the tribal court. The issue in court will be whether he lied on the federal purchasing form, Browne said. Michael Lee, a lawyer with Browne's firm who attended the arraignment, said 'there is a distinction between what comes from a state court and a tribal court' in terms of restrictions placed on the subject of the order. Lee said they would secure the tribal order through discovery to make that point. Had the protection order been filed in a state court instead of the tribal court, it would have been entered into a criminal records database and would have surfaced during a background check. Gunman: Jaylen Fryberg, a freshman, shot dead four of his classmates then himself last October . But the order was never entered into any state or federal criminal databases because of a flawed reporting system between tribes and outside authorities. Tribes have long called on the federal government to fix this problem or provide access to the databases so they can enter the orders themselves. After The Associated Press reported on the problem last week, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it would host a conference in August with the tribes to try to resolve the problem. A federal grand jury issued an indictment on April 8 charging Fryberg with a single count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. Fryberg was released from custody on the condition that he attends his court hearings and stays away from guns. Victims: The shooter's cousin Andrew Fryberg , 15, (left) was killed, as was girlfriend Zoe Galasso, 14 (right). Reports suggested that the shooter had a crush on Galasso and was upset she was dating his cousin . Victims: Gia Soriano, left, and Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, both 14, died days after the attack from gun wounds . Hit: Nate Hatch was also shot in the jaw but he survived and has recovered. He is pictured three months ago . He appeared in court on Thursday flanked by eight friends and family members. He declined to speak with reporters. If he is convicted on the charge, he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler set his trial for June 22. Fryberg's son, 15-year-old Jaylen, used the gun to kill four friends and wound another in the cafeteria of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School after inviting them to lunch on October 24, 2014. The well-liked freshman who had recently been a Homecoming prince, shot dead Gia Soriano, Zoe Galasso and Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, all 14, and Andrew Fryberg, 15. He also shot 14-year-old Nate Hatch in the jaw, but the teenager survived and has recovered.
Raymond Lee Fryberg Jr. 'bought a gun in 2013 despite a domestic violence protection order against him banning him from doing so' He 'said he had no restraining orders out against him when he filled out his federal form and the system did not pick up the error' He was arraigned on Thursday and faces 10 years behind bars if guilty . Last October, his son Jaylen, 15, shot dead four of his classmates in the cafeteria at their Seattle high school before taking his own life .
