A report from the Washington Post, confirmed by the Associated Press, claims the alleged Apalachee High School attacker’s mother warned the school of an “extreme emergency” half an hour before shots rang out.
The Associated Press (AP) reported that the 14-year-old attacker’s aunt, Annie Brown, said the boy’s mom “spoke with a school counselor and urged them to ‘immediately’ find her son to check on him.”
The Tennessee Star noted that the Post zeroed in on text messages that “show that the school and family were in contact about [the mental health of the 14-year-old].”

If she thought he was going to shoot up to school, should’ve ran down there or called the Cops
if true, then a federal school once again failed to protect its own students and staff. take away point: get and keep your kids out of the wicked, anarchic fed schools. if you’re a teacher, tutor or work for a private school. the guaranteed union paycheck isn’t worth you spirit or even your life.
I think it’s safe to drop the “alleged” from the headline
Did she call the police?
“ Did she call the police?”
That’s been my question all day
What mother would do that these days?
School administration used intercom to tell teachers to check their email, presumably for an active shooter lockdown without panic. How long does that take, how urgently is it received, unless that was the understood code.
This is probably why they are going after the father. The school failed to act on information.
I think the answer is no, because she’s a meth head.
could be. i have zero trust in herr kempf and his corrupt GA flying circus.
Agreed
The kid never had a chance with those two as his parents
they know and do nothing, they allow it to happen
COLT’S EVIL Mother of Georgia School Shooter Has Extensive Criminal Record
Marcee Gray, the mother of the suspect in Wednesday’s Apalachee High School shooting, has a criminal record spanning more than 17 years and four counties, court records show.
The 43-year-old has faced prosecution in Barrow, Fulton and Forsyth counties, accused of domestic violence, drug possession, property damage and traffic violations. She has also faced civil fraud charges related to a vehicle purchase and was in jail in Ben Hill County as recently asMarcee Gray was arrested on Nov. 6 in Barrow County, suspected of possessing methamphetamine, fentanyl and muscle relaxants. Publicly available court records indicate that she was not actually charged with drug possession in relation to her arrest.
The arrest warrant states that Marcee Gray had a glass jar containing methamphetamine, a “baggie” containing fentanyl, another “baggie” containing multiple muscle relaxants, and a glass pipe “used for the ingestion of narcotics.” She also concealed the identity of her Nissan Rogue by affixing a tag for a Nissan Kick, the warrant states.
In December, Marcee Gray was charged with, and pleaded guilty to, single counts of using a license plate to conceal identity, criminal damage to property in the second degree and criminal trespass/family violence. Her guilty plea form, filed in the Barrow County Superior Court, shows that she was prosecuted under Georgia’s First Offender Act, which allows eligible defendants to plead guilty without being convicted.
Marcee Gray was sentenced on Dec. 21 to five years in jail, with the first 46 days to be spent in confinement and the remainder on probation. She received credit for the time she had spent in custody from Nov. 6.
April, according to publicly available court filings. As a special condition of probation, Marcee Gray was ordered to pay just over $1,500 in restitution to an Atlanta construction company, Van Winkle Construction. She was also prohibited from having any contact with her husband, Colin Gray, except through a third party for matters concerning their children or divorce.
Marcee Gray was ordered to participate in a family violence intervention program and to stay away from drugs and alcohol.
An April 5 order in relation to the restitution shows Marcee Gray was at that time located in the Ben Hill County Jail in Fitzgerald, Georgia. An earlier order in the Barrow County case states that Marcee Gray may be subject to prosecution in another county, but does not specify where or why.
A Fitzgerald Herald-Leader crime report from January states that Marcee Gray faced charges of aggravated battery, theft by taking, criminal trespass, false imprisonment and failure to appear.
Publicly available court records show Marcee Gray was prosecuted in 2019 on misdemeanor traffic charges in Forsyth County, and faced a speeding charge in Barrow county in 2014. Details of those cases were not immediately available.
She was also charged in 2008 in Fulton County with 2007 traffic offenses including driving under the influence of alcohol. She took a plea deal and was fined $600, sentenced to 12 months of probation and ordered to complete 40 hours of community service, court records show.
Marcee Gray was sued in 2019 by Nash Chevrolet Company, which alleged that she had bought a 2018 Chevrolet Suburban in September 2018 using a $10,000 check as a down payment. The check, which had both Marcee Gray and Colin Gray’s names on it, was “dishonored due to lack of funds,” the dealership’s complaint states.
Records show that in Gwinnett County, Bank of America had an ongoing garnishment claim on Colin Gray’s paychecks for about a year.
Grandpa of Georgia School Shooter Says Teen’s ‘Evil’ Father Should Get Death Penalty
Spending 11 years with that son of a bitch screaming and hollering every day — it can affect anybody,” Polhamus, 81, said of his 54-year-old ex-son-in-law, who was married to his daughter Marcee.
“He’s evil,” Polhamus said of Gray.
“They couldn’t, they didn’t survive in it,” he said of the family.
“Colt has to pay for what he did, but I’m telling you, he was driven, no question in my mind,” Polhamus said. “He was driven by his father to do what he did. That’s as plain as I can put it, and I know I’m right.
“[Colin Gray] got what he deserved, too,” he added of the dad, who was charged with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children for being an alleged accessory in the school shooting.
Gray gave his troubled son an AR-15-style rifle for Christmas — the weapon that Colt ended up using in Wednesday’s slaughter, authorities have said.
“He needs the death penalty,” the grandpa said of Gray.
Gray faces up to 180 years behind bars if convicted in the heinous crime.
Polhamus said Gray squandered the family’s finances and ended up losing their “half million dollar farm” because of drug addiction after suffering a back injury.
The granddd said his daughter, Marcee Gray, 43, was also pulled into addiction, which ultimately cost her custody of Colt and the couple’s other children. But she remained committed to her kids, he insisted.
“She is a good person and a mom,” Polhamus said. “But I’m back to what I said about narcissists: They can change anybody.
“Marcee never did anything to Colt,” he added. “All she did is help him out.”
Marcee Gray has a lengthy rap sheet full of drug and domestic-violence arrests.
A former neighbor told The Post last week, “There were nights where the mom would lock him and his sister out the house.
“And they would be banging on the back door, just screaming like, ‘Mom! Mom! Mom!’ and crying. It was absolutely devastating,” the woman said, adding Colt would come to her back door at other times dressed in filthy clothes begging for food.
Colt lived with his father by the time of the shooting.
Marcee Grey told The Post on Saturday that she was devastated by her son’s allegedly actions.
“It’s horrible,” she said at her father’s home about three hours from Atlanta. “It’s absolutely horrible.”
The distraught mom flew into a panic Wednesday morning when she received a troubling text from her son, with the teen writing, “I’m sorry mom.”
She desperately called Apalachee High School to report an “extreme emergency,” but it was too late.
Nothinng that Marcee Gray says should be believed even for a moment.
