Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, is being held for his part in a fatal shooting. Nine people were injured in the Wednesday morning event, which resulted in the deaths of four people—two teachers and two students. As per the reports of Yahoo news, Gray was recognized by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) as the gunman. Gray, according to the authorities, turned himself in not long after the school resource officer approached him. How he was able to carry a gun inside the school is still a mystery to investigators.
The shooting occurred on campus during class time. Students described chaotic scenes as Gray, a fellow student, left his classroom during an algebra lesson and returned with a firearm. Another student refused to let him re-enter the classroom, after seeing him carrying a gun. Gray then went to a neighboring classroom, where he began shooting, as described by eyewitnesses. He fired at least ten rounds. Gray was apprehended by law enforcement within minutes and taken into custody. No specific motive has been discovered so far, and police haven’t identified any targets of the attack.
