In a shocking turn of events, the FBI has revealed that Colt Gray, a 14-year-old suspect in a recent school shooting, was questioned last year about online threats. Colt Gray is accused of carrying out a tragic attack at Apalachee High School in Georgia, which resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers.
According to the FBI, Gray was interviewed in May 2023 after making online threats about a potential school shooting. These threats included photos of guns. At that time, Gray denied making the threats, and his father stated that while there were hunting guns in their home, Colt did not have unsupervised access to them.
Despite the interview, authorities found no probable cause to arrest Gray or take further action. Now, one year later, Gray is accused of using an AR-style rifle in the deadly attack at his school. He surrendered to authorities at the scene and will be charged with murder and tried as an adult.
This revelation has raised many questions about whether the tragedy could have been prevented if more action had been taken last year. The investigation is ongoing as authorities look into any connections between the 2023 threats and the recent shooting.
The community is in mourning, and many are calling for stricter measures to prevent such incidents in the future. The victims have been identified as students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and teachers Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing online threats seriously and taking proactive steps to ensure the safety of our schools.
