Family members of the Georgia school shooting suspect have revealed that the alleged killer's mother contacted the school on the morning of the shooting, warning of a potential emergency. This disclosure comes as mourners gather at the site of the shootings to pay tribute to the victims. According to reports, the shooting suspect's mother made a call to the school approximately 30 minutes before the tragic incident that claimed four lives. She reportedly informed a school counselor about an 'extreme emergency,' a claim supported by a call log as per The Washington Post.
The motive behind the mother's warning remains unclear at this point, raising questions about what prompted her to reach out to the school regarding her son, 14-year-old Colt Gray. Precautionary measures were swiftly implemented, with classrooms instructed to secure their doors. The response actions taken by the school following the phone call are under intense scrutiny.
While the teenager's mother has a history involving drugs, family violence, and other offenses, she is not implicated in the shooting case and is said to be cooperating with the investigation. In contrast, the teenager's father faces murder charges alongside his son, adding complexity to the legal aspects surrounding the family.
Students in the Barrow County School District are scheduled to return to classes on Tuesday, except for those from Apalachee High School who are still grappling with the aftermath of the shooting. The timeline for their return remains uncertain. Numerous vigils have been held since the tragedy, drawing students, community members, and individuals from across the nation to honor the two students and two teachers who lost their lives in the attack.
Meanwhile, in Atlanta, the Falcons demonstrated solidarity by wearing Apalachee High School T-shirts during warmups at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The gesture serves as a poignant display of support for the grieving community.
