14-Yr-Old Shoots and Kills 2 Students, 2 Teachers in US High School

A 14-year-old boy shot dead two fellow students and two teachers and injured nine others as he fired indiscriminately at a Georgia high school on Wednesday in the United States. It was the first mass campus shooting since the start of the new academic year.

The young suspect was taken into custody shortly after the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. Interestingly, he was interviewed by law enforcement a year back for making online threats about committing a school shooting.

The accused, identified as Colt Gray will be charged and tried as an adult, informed the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The young gunman was armed with a semiautomatic rifle. He surrendered after the mass shooting.

The White House said in a statement that President Joe Biden had been briefed on the shooting. “Jill and I are mourning the deaths of those whose lives were cut short due to more senseless gun violence and thinking of all of the survivors whose lives are forever changed,” Biden said in a statement, calling on Republicans to work with Democrats to pass “common-sense gun safety legislation.”
