Two students and two teachers were killed Wednesday in a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, according to Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey.
School resource officer engaged with shooter and took him into custody, sheriff says
The resource officer at Apalachee High School engaged with the shooter and took him into custody, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith told reporters.
“Obviously the shooter was armed and our school resource officer engaged him and the shooter quickly realized that if he did not give up, that it would end with an OIS — an Officer Involved Shooting. He gave up, got on the ground and the deputy took him into custody,” Smith said.

MSNBC just said he’s 14 and he was a student at the school.

A white cop talking to the media said “Hate will not prevail in our community.” I don’t know the context or who he was. But I wonder if the shooter was a minority.
Winder, Georgia CNN — The 14-year-old suspect in the fatal mass shooting at a Winder, Georgia, high school has been identified as Colt Gray, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said at an afternoon news conference.
The suspect is a student at the school who will be charged with murder and will be handled as an adult as he moves through the criminal justice system, Hosey and Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith added.
As morally and ethically vile as it is - it’s also disgusting, raw political opportunism to make decision and rush out a statement to the media hours after the shooting.

Doing an image search for “Colt Gray” gives results for guns and nothing else (for now). Nominative determinism at work
It’s an awesome name, and shame it was given to a school shooter.
I entirely missed “gun” because all that came to mind was “horse”. Haha. It’s right there. But I would have gotten it if his name was Colt Fortifaiv.
again while the whole “tried as an adult” thing. Used so often you wonder what actually doesn’t get someone tried as an adult.
