Georgia school shooting live updates: Casualties reported at Apalachee High School, suspect in custody
NBC News ^ | September 4, 2024 | NBC

At least two people were killed and at least four were injured after gunfire erupted today at Apalachee High School in Georgia, according to preliminary information from law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.

The suspect is in custody, the Barrow County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp dispatched state resources to assist local authorities.

Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are on the scene in Georgia to assist local authorities in the ongoing probe at Apalachee High School, a "devastated" Attorney General Merrick Garland said.

"We are still gathering information but the FBI and ATF are on the scene, working with state, local and federal partners," Garland told reporters.

"I'm devastated for the families who have been affected by this terrible tragedy. The Justice Department stands ready to provide resources or support the Winder community needs in the days ahead."

WXIA reporters spoke with a neighbor of an Apalachee High School student who rushed to the school and confirmed that the student was safe.

"I'm sure he's devastated," the neighbor said. "He probably doesn't want to finish the rest of the year. His last year, and this is what happens."

The neighbor said that the student heard the shooting and called his mom.

"He's like, 'They're shooting, they're shooting right across from my classroom,'" the neighbor said. "He called his mom devastated, I'm sure."

Sheriff Jud Smith said that schools surrounding Apalachee High School, which were placed on a soft lockdown after reports of the shooting, would release their students soon as families anxiously await reunions with their students.

Smith called the investigation "very active and ever-developing," as officials of numerous sheriff’s offices from across the state of Georgia could be seen on Apalachee’s campus.

Would that mean that Hinckley happened under Reagan’s watch?

It means it’s absurd to say that Trump will be blamed ... anymore than anyone else could be blamed. Follow the reply stream.

Got it, Bob?

Thx ... but, I don’t have any issues following reply streams.

You might want to double check the original post I was replying to, so you can see that it has to do w/blaming Trump.

You’re not thinking this should be blamed on Trump, are you, Bob?

Saying it’s under Harris’ watch is kinda weird. That’s all.

No, it's not because it's certainly not under biden's watch any more.

Gotta hide anything that would make it look bad for the Pro child sex change and what not movement. Look how hard they tried to hide the Christian school shooters manifesto.

As VP she’s less responsible for a mass shooting in a school as Trump is for the 100 or so that happened from 17-21.

It not a difficult concept.

Not at all. Trump has zero to do with this shooting.

So does Harris, which is where this sub- thread progressed.

Now, it COULD be argued that Harris’ zeal for prosecuting blacks for modest drug possession, love of abortion, support for rioters, and hatred of self-defense, is a contributing factor to the erosion of cultural respect for life and the rule of law. In that sense, she CAN be contributing to the underlying driver of hopelessness that causes parents to drug their kids.

But that’s a stretch.

That said, I fully expect Harris to milk this tragedy for political gain. THAT, is where she should be pounded by Trump.

Sorry for any mixup. I hope that makes sense.

Fortunately the police didn't get the memo that they are supposed to stay outside the school until the shooter runs out of ammo (like in Uvalde and in the shooting in Florida a few years ago).

If the killer is only 14, hope he isn't set free in a few years.
