The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the suspicious ‘warning call’ that Apalachee High School reportedly received the morning of the shooting.
From TGP:
“New details have emerged from Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, regarding a warning the school received prior to the gunman opening fire.
Despite reportedly receiving a phone call stating that the high school would be the first of five targets, seemingly nothing was done to prevent the violence.”
Now bombshell text messages have been released by the Washington Post, showing that the warning calls that were previously reported came from the shooter’s mother, Marcee Gray.
According to reports, Marcee told family members via text messages that she called the high school the morning of the shooting and warned a counselor about an “extreme emergency” involving her 14-year-old son Colt Gray.
The claims are supported by call log data showing a 10-minute phone call from Marcee‘s phone to the school about half an hour before the gunman began firing.
The text message from Marcee reads, “ I was the one that notified the school counselor at the high school.”
“I told them it was an extreme emergency and for them to go immediately and find [my son] to check on him.”
According to the shooter’s sister, Annie Brown, a counselor told Marcee during the call that her son Colt had been talking about school shootings earlier in the morning.
The report states that school administrators had gone to check on the boy, but due to a mix-up with names, they were unable to locate him and ended up confiscating the wrong student’s bag just minutes before the shooting took place.

“The school has about 2,000 students so maybe not to easy to find one student that doesn’t want to be found.”
That is not the way it works. First, the schools have a code to alert the teachers over the public address system so they can lock the doors and observe their classes.
There is no possible excuse for the shooting is she in fact called and warned them. The school did not even need a name.
Colt is a fairly unusual name...how can you mix that up?
The problem with bureaucracies (corporate or government ) is no one is empowered to do anything. Everything is built around what you can’t do. So no one does anything.
Whole lotta hearsay going on in this. Getting corroboration from school officials will be harder than pulling teeth with chopsticks, given the liability they would be putting on themselves.
The mother was too dense to call the police. That makes her stupid in my book.
Which seems to be the standard.
How better to call for gun confiscation and gun control than to allow a mass shooting at a school, even when warned?
Ahh, if only she would have told the school a teacher was going to try to talk a kid out of getting a sex change. They would have called out a 5 alarm emergency.
As I understand it, the parents are living apart.
So if he was with the mother before he went to school that day (how else would she know he had such a problem), then why would they charge the father with any crimes?
The kid wasn’t old enough to drive. Either she brought him to the school or saw him depart for the bus.
If anything, why not charge her for not stopping him?
The mother’s duty was to call the police. She elected to try to protect her son by calling the school. The reason the city police arrived within minutes of the shooting is that when the school resource officers learned of the threat they called the city police. The mother was interested only in protecting her son. She was not interested in protecting any of the other 2000 or so students at the school.
We need fewer hysterical emotional nitwits that mother and more people who recognize and do what they ought like the school resource officers. Had the idiot mother called the police rather than a social worker/counselor at the school it is very likely her son would not have killed two teachers and two students and injured another nine people.
And yes, the school counselor is also an idiot in that he too failed the test presented to him by looking for the shooter without first calling the police.
I have found that the bigger the company/institution, the harder it is to get any official to approve an action.
With a small or medium sized family business, it is not hard to get a yes or no on a proposal.
The worst is with a govt agency, be it city/State or Federal...sometimes a city govt can make a proposal decision, but if there is even the hint of controversy, forget about it. Govt workers at the lower levels lack approval authority and those at the senior levels do not act, other than to turn down the proposal.
Sometimes I think officials seek a clean accomplishment record by having an empty accomplishment record.
You don’t know what you are talking about.
You take your speculations about the mother as true. You don’t know that. And she certainly is not the type to think accurately.
Once the school was alerted, it was their responsibility to act within all pre-arranged protocols, and, by law, they have them in place. This was all needless. The mother may have been stupid, but the school administrators have no excuse, nor the FBI, who should have alerted the school last year. And those school administrators will all be replaced before this is over.
If you learned there was an intruder in your house with your family present, would you first call and alert them or would you call the police and wait for them to arrive at the scene.
Yes, I do know what happened as I have access to LEO information about this case. I am not speculating. Dare I say it is you who are?
Sher is a hysterical person who failed to do her duty to save lives.
As to you what if, if I were home, I would be calling the other members of my department to alert the coroner to pick up the recently deceased individual from my entryway.
If I were not at home, I would alert the police as I raced home hoping they would arrive before I did so which might save the life of the perpetrator. And by the way, my house was broken into ten years ago while my family was at home. I short all three of the intruders killing one and sending the other two to the a fate worst than death as neither of them will ever walk or feed themselves again.
“Sher is a hysterical person who failed to do her duty to save lives.”
Oh, so she didn’t make the call, according to your sources?
If she made the call, the school administrators incur full responsibility. Just how long would it take the school administrators to forward the info to the police? Seconds.

Do you need any more proof that the mother is an idiot and the type of idiot who commits criminal acts without any remorse?
“Do you need any more proof that the mother is an idiot and the type of idiot who commits criminal acts without any remorse?”
She probably is an idiot.
I never defended her moral character.
I know nothing about her.
My point that she called and alerted, for whatever her reason being, the school officials and they did nothing and allowed her pervert son to kill innocent students and teachers.
The fact that she is a reprobate does not excuse the school officials tc not call the police immediately, and to locate and isolate the killer immediately; both moves taking only seconds.
Your point was she call a school counselor. She should have call the police. She did not. That is a moral flaw on her part and your failure to realize that fact is a moral flaw on your part.
“She should have call the police.”
Why did the school counselor not call the police? Takes only seconds.
“That is a moral flaw on her part and your failure to realize that fact is a moral flaw on your part.”
You are so stupid.
