Georgia school shooting suspect previously investigated for threats, FBI says

A teenager accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Barrow County was previously investigated for threats about a shooting, the FBI Atlanta office said late Wednesday.

Colt Gray, 14, was charged with murder after Wednesday’s shooting, according to investigators. He was not charged after an investigation last year.

In May 2023, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting, the FBI said in a statement. The threats didn’t identify a school or when it would happen, but they contained pictures of guns.

Investigators tracked the post to Georgia and to Jackson County, where sheriff’s deputies continued the investigation. A 13-year-old, Colt Gray, was interviewed along with his father, an FBI spokesman said.

The FBI has a higher success rate of enlisting young recruits than the U.S. Military does.

Multiple death threats, previous threats to go on shooting rampage in the school, autistic and the father had guns in the house claiming the kid did not have unsupervised access to them.

He should have had NO access to them. Why didn’t the father with a problem like that get rid of his guns ? Or make sure there was no way this kid could get to them but that usually is not reliable kids can be very aware of hiding places ways to get to things.

Why blame the FBI solely, I see it as the father’s fault.

He’s a shotgunner. Apparently a bird hunter. And a deer hunter. Growing up in Nebraska, that makes sense. Hunts and fishes. The only things I find remotely likable about him.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp joined members of the GBI and Barrow County Sheriff’s Office for a second briefing on the deadly shooting at Apalachee High School. During the news conference, authorities identified the four victims who were killed: two 14-year-olds, and two teachers.

An AR platform-style weapon was used in the shooting, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director (GBI) Chris Hosey said.

Rifles are responsible for a relatively small proportion of homicides in the United States, with fewer than 500 deaths per year.

More people die from fists and knives a year. But we can't mention that because it doesn't fit with thee " guns are bad" narratives.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Take away the guns from the good guys and you'll have a world run and terrorized by bad guys.

Guns scare bad guys and liberals because neither can be in complete control of a situation and they realize their bad behavior could reap rewards they don't want.
