Georgia High School Shooting Suspect
A 14-year-old boy will be charged with murder after a shooting at a high school in Georgia that left four people dead and nine others injured.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation reported that two students and two teachers were killed in Wednesday's attack at Apalachee High School in Winder, Barrow County.
An official said that Colt Gray, a student at the school, was arrested by two officers on campus. He will be tried as an adult.
It has emerged that the FBI interviewed him last year after receiving anonymous tips about an online threat of a school shooting, but agents did not arrest him at the time.

Authorities first received reports of the shooting at the school of about 1,900 students at 10:20 a.m. local time (14:20 GMT).
Local Sheriff Jud Smith described the attack as "pure evil."
“Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes, including two school resource officers assigned to the school who immediately confronted the subject," the sheriff said at a news conference.
"The subject immediately surrendered. He gave up, fell to the ground, and the officers took him into custody."
Officials said no motive has been identified, and law enforcement is unaware of any "target" at this time.
According to the FBI, investigators visited the suspect in May 2023 and interviewed him and his father about threats posted online that included photos of guns.
“The father said that he hunted with firearms at home, but the subject had no unsupervised access to them,” the FBI said in a statement.
The suspect, then 13, denied making the online threats, and officials “alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the situation.”
“At that time, there was no probable cause for arrest or any additional law enforcement action at the local, state, or federal level.”
One of the victims killed on Wednesday was 14-year-old Mason Shermerhorn, who was autistic, according to local outlet WSB-TV.
Family members posted Mason's photo on social media when they couldn't find him and later confirmed he had not survived the shooting.
Teacher and coach David Phoenix was shot in the leg and hip, with his hip bone broken, according to social media posts from his family.
He underwent surgery but was in stable condition, according to someone who identified herself as his daughter on Facebook.
Law enforcement did not specify the type of weapon used or how many shots were fired.
Sheriff Smith said the suspect had been interviewed and had spoken to investigators once in custody.
He told reporters, "It will take us a long time to get answers to what happened and why."
Dozens of police officers responded quickly to the school shooting, which was placed on lockdown and cleared, with students taken to a nearby football stadium before being released to their families.
Laila Sayarth, who was in the suspect’s class, told CNN that the suspect left the room at the start of their algebra lesson.
She said he came back and knocked on the door, which had automatically locked, but another student, seeing he had a gun, refused to let him in.
Ms. Sayarth told CNN that the shooter then went into the adjacent classroom, where he began firing.
Sophomore Alexandra Romero said she was in class when someone burst in, shouting at students to get down.
“I just remember my hands shaking,” she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I felt bad because everyone was crying, everyone was trying to find their siblings.
“I can still picture everything, like the blood, the screams."
Fourteen-year-old Marquez Coleman said he saw the shooter holding a “big gun” just before the shooting began.
"I got up, I started running, he started shooting like 10 times. He fired at least 10 rounds,” he told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner.
“My teacher started barricading the door with desks,” he said.
After standing up, the student said he saw “one of my classmates bleeding really badly on the ground,” another girl shot in the leg, and a friend shot in the stomach.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said on X, formerly Twitter, that he was “praying for the safety of those in our classrooms” and directing “all available state resources to help.”
