Georgia School Shooting: Everything We Know About Suspect Colt Gray
Georgia school shooting suspect, 14-year-old Colt Gray, has been charged with four counts of murder following the incident at Apalachee High School. Gray has been identified despite being a minor, following allegations of shooting and killing two students and two teachers on campus. The victims have been named as 14-year-old students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and teachers Christina Irimie, 53, and Richard Aspenwall, 39. Gray who was a student at Apalachee High School, was arrested at the scene of the shooting, after immediately surrendering to school officers. Barrow County sheriff Jud Smith said it was unclear whether Gray’s victims were targeted specifically, stating, “we may never know†why it happened, or understand Gray's connection to the four victims. The teenager was previously investigated by the FBI after receiving anonymous tips about threats he allegedly made at age 13 regarding a school shooting. In an FBI interview with Gray and his father, he denied that he had made any threats. Gray’s father had assured the FBI that he had no unsupervised access to guns, and no further action was taken. During the incident, students and faculty flooded to the school's football stadium for shelter. Police have reported that the initiative of Apalachee teachers during the shooting saved dozens of lives.
