The student accused of killing four people in a Georgia high school shooting rode the school bus that morning with a semiautomatic assault rifle concealed in his backpack, investigators confirmed Thursday.
Colt Gray then left his second-period classroom after getting permission to go to the front office at Apalachee High School but hid from teachers in a bathroom before emerging to begin the assault, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith.The new details fill in some key questions about how the 14-year-old got a gun that could not be folded down to the school in Winder, northeast of Atlanta, before a shooting that killed two students and two teachers.
Marcee Gray and other relatives on her side of the family have said they had sought the school's assistance the week before the shooting to get psychiatric treatment for Colt Gray. The 13,000 students at Barrow County's other schools returned to class Tuesday. Officials have not announced a restart date for the 1,900 students who attend Apalachee.
9:45 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. -- An administrator comes to the algebra classroom looking for a student with the same last name and a similar first name to Colt Gray, Sayarath and Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said. When the other student returns, he tells Sayarath that the administrator was actually seeking Colt Gray. In the meantime, the teacher is called on the intercom, Sayarath said.
