    FBI Atlanta Claims Colt Gray Shooter at Apalachee High previous

    The FBI’s Atlanta office reported Wednesday night that it had received threats last year regarding then-13-year-old Colt Gray, the suspect in Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School.

    In May 2023, the National Threat Operations Center received anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unknown location and time, FBI Atlanta posted on X, formerly Twitter.

    The threats contained images of weapons, and the FBI determined that the messages originated in Georgia, specifically Jackson County. The FBI turned the evidence over to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, which interviewed Gray and his father. Gray said he had hunting weapons in his home, but that Gray did not have access to them.

    There was no probable cause at that time for an arrest or additional law enforcement action, the release said. Jackson County alerted local schools to continue monitoring the subject.

    Apalachee High School is located in Barrow County and is not part of Jackson County Schools or any other city school in Jackson County. It is uncertain whether Gray attended a school in Jackson County prior to moving to the Barrow County School District.

    GBI Director Chris Hosey confirmed the FBI information during a 9 p.m. news conference.

    On Wednesday, Gray was identified by the GBI as the suspect who killed two teachers and two students and injured nine others at Apalachee High School.

    The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office responded on Facebook with a post from Sheriff Janis Mangum.

    “My phone is blowing up with messages from people about social media posts about other possible incidents. As far as I know, there is no list that shows this,” the message read. “This is an ongoing investigation in Apalachee. Please think of those affected by this tragedy and continue to pray for all involved.”
