Breaking News: Mother of Georgia High School Shooter Warned School of 'Extreme Emergency' Before Attack
In a shocking turn of events, the mother of the 14-year-old suspect in the Georgia high school shooting that claimed the lives of two students and two teachers reportedly called the school that morning to warn of an "extreme emergency." Marcee Gray informed a counselor to find her son immediately, just 30 minutes before the tragic attack unfolded.
Details of what prompted the call have not been disclosed, but Gray has cooperated with law enforcement and expressed deep regret for the pain caused to the victims and their families. Despite efforts by a school administrator to locate the suspect in his math class that morning, he was nowhere to be found.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has handed over the case to the Piedmont Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office, which is pursuing charges against both the suspect, Colt Gray, and his father, Colin Gray. Colin is facing charges related to providing the weapon used in the shooting, as part of a legal strategy to hold parents accountable for granting minors access to firearms.
In a previous incident in May 2023, both father and son were questioned about online threats of a school shooting, but the case was closed due to lack of evidence linking them to the threats.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness, responsible gun ownership, and the need for swift action in addressing potential threats. It is crucial for parents, schools, and law enforcement to work together to prevent such devastating incidents in the future.
