The teen charged with\u00a0opening fire at a Georgia high school<\/a>\u00a0denied threatening to carry out a school shooting when authorities interviewed him last year about a menacing post on social media, according to a sheriff\u2019s report obtained Thursday. Meanwhile his father was arrested on a variety of counts, including second-degree murder.<\/p>\n

\n

Colin Gray, 54, the father of Colt Gray, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a social media post. No other details were immediately provided. A news conference was planned later Thursday.<\/p>\n

Authorities have charged 14-year-old Colt Gray as an adult with murder in the shootings Wednesday at Apalachee High School outside Atlanta. Arrest warrants obtained by the AP accuse him of using a semiautomatic assault-style rifle in the attack, which killed two students and two teachers and wounded nine other people.<\/p>\n

Conflicting evidence on the post\u2019s origin left investigators unable to arrest anyone, the report said. Jackson County Sheriff Janis Mangum said she reviewed the report from May 2023 and found nothing that would have justified bringing charges at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not drop the ball at all on this,\u201d Mangum told The Associated Press in an interview. \u201cWe did all we could do with what we had at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a sheriff\u2019s investigator from neighboring Jackson County interviewed Gray last year, his father said the boy had struggled with his parents\u2019 separation and often got picked on at school. The teen frequently fired guns and hunted with his father, who photographed him with a deer\u2019s blood on his cheeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knows the seriousness of weapons and what they can do, and how to use them and not use them,\u201d the father, Colin Gray, said according to a transcript obtained from the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The teen was interviewed after the sheriff received a tip from the FBI that Gray, then 13, \u201chad possibly threatened to shoot up a middle school tomorrow.\u201d The threat was made on Discord, a social media platform popular with video gamers, according to the sheriff\u2019s office incident report.<\/p>\n

The FBI\u2019s tip pointed to a Discord account associated with an email address linked to Colt Gray, the report said. But the boy said \u201che would never say such a thing, even in a joking manner,\u201d according to the investigator\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

The interview transcript quotes the teen as saying: \u201cI promise I would never say something where \u2026\u201d with the rest of that denial listed as inaudible.<\/p>\n

The investigator wrote that no arrests were made because of \u201cinconsistent information\u201d on the Discord account, which had profile information in Russian and a digital evidence trail indicating it had been accessed in different Georgia cities as well as Buffalo, New York.<\/p>\n

The attack was\u00a0the latest<\/a>\u00a0among dozens of school shootings across the U.S. in recent years, including especially deadly ones in\u00a0Newtown, Connecticut<\/a>;\u00a0Parkland, Florida<\/a>; and\u00a0Uvalde, Texas<\/a>. The classroom killings have set off fervent debates about gun control and frayed the nerves of parents whose children are growing up accustomed to active-shooter drills. But there has been little change to national gun laws.<\/p>\n

Classes were canceled Thursday at the Georgia high school, though some people came to leave flowers around the flagpole and kneel in the grass with heads bowed.<\/p>\n

When the suspect slipped out of math class Wednesday, Lyela Sayarath figured her quiet classmate who recently transferred was skipping school again. But he returned later and wanted back into the room. Some students went to open the locked door but instead backed away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m guessing they saw something, but for some reason, they didn\u2019t open the door,\u201d Sayarath said.<\/p>\n

The teen then opened fire in the hallway, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Sayarath said she heard a barrage of 10 to 15 gunshots. The students fell to the floor and crawled in search of a safe corner to hide.<\/p>\n

Two school resource officers confronted the shooter within minutes after the gunshots were reported, Hosey said. The teen immediately surrendered.<\/p>\n

Gray was being held Thursday at a regional youth detention facility. His first court appearance was scheduled for Friday morning.<\/p>\n

He has been charged in the deaths of students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and teachers Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53, according to Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey.<\/p>\n

At least nine other people \u2014 eight students and one teacher at the school in Winder \u2014 were wounded and taken to hospitals. All were expected to survive, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not offered any motive or explained how the suspect obtained the gun and got it into the school of roughly 1,900 students in a rapidly developing area on the edge of metro Atlanta\u2019s ever-expanding sprawl.<\/p>\n

It was the 30th\u00a0mass killing<\/a>\u00a0in the U.S. so far this year, according to a\u00a0database<\/a>\u00a0maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. At least 127 people have died in those killings, which are defined as events in which four or more people die within a 24-hour period, not including the killer \u2014 the same definition used by the FBI.<\/p>\n

Prior cases have emerged in which someone who was once on the FBI\u2019s radar but was not arrested went on to commit violence.<\/p>\n

A month before Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people at the Parkland, Florida, high school in 2018, the bureau received a warning that he had been talking about committing a mass shooting. The FBI also investigated a tip about the person later convicted in a deadly 2022 shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado.<\/p>\n

The pattern underscores the challenges law enforcement faces in trying to determine when concerning behavior crosses into a crime. Investigators sift through tens of thousands of tips every year to try to determine which could yield a viable threat. Cases such as the Georgia school shooting prompt fresh questions about whether more intensive investigative work might have averted the violence.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s report says investigator Daniel Miller spoke to the boy and his father May 21, 2023. The father said his son had access to guns in the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean they aren\u2019t loaded, but they are down,\u201d Gray\u2019s father said, according to the interview transcript.<\/p>\n

He described a photo on his cellphone from a recent hunting trip with his son: \u201cYou see him with blood on his cheeks from shooting his first deer.\u201d Gray\u2019s father called it \u201cthe greatest day ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The teen told Miller he stopped using Discord a few months earlier after his account got hacked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gotta take you at your word and I hope you\u2019re being honest with me,\u201d Miller replied.<\/p>\n

A phone number associated with the account was linked to a different person in another Georgia city, the report said. The account\u2019s profile name, written in Russian, translated to Lanza. The investigator noted that Adam Lanza was the perpetrator of the 2012 mass shooting that killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the teen. But the investigator concluded that he \u201ccould not substantiate the tip I received from the FBI to take further action.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
