Multiple people hurt in shooting at Georgia high
school, suspect in custody: Sheriff

Multiple people were injured in an active shooter
situation at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia,
on Wednesday morning, according to Barrow County
Sheriff Jud Smith.
One suspect is in custody, the sheriff's office said.
Details on the number of victims and their conditions
were not immediately clear, the sheriff's office said.
Senior Sergio Caldera, 17, said he was in chemistry
class when he heard gunshots.
"My teacher goes and opens the door to see what’s going
on. Another teacher comes running in and tells her to
close the door because there’s an active shooter,"
Caldera told ABC News.
He said his teacher locked the door and the students
ran to the back of the room. Caldera said they heard
screams from outside as they "huddled up."

At some point, Caldera said someone pounded on his
classroom door and shouted "open up!" multiple times.
When the knocking stopped, Caldera said he heard more
gunshots and screams.
He said his class later evacuated to the football
field.
Apalachee High School was "cleared for dismissal" and
all other Barrow County Schools are on a "soft
lockdown," the Barrow County School District said.
"The Barrow County Sheriff's Office says this is for
the safety of everyone right now. Please do not visit
your child's school at this time. We cannot release
students during a lockdown," the school district said
in a statement. "We will let you know as soon as BCSO
says it is all clear for dismissal."
Winder is about 45 miles outside of Atlanta.
President Joe Biden has been briefed on the shooting.
"His administration will continue coordinating with
federal, state, and local officials as we receive more
information," according to the White House.
Agents from the FBI and the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation are at the scene.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said he's "directed all
available state resources to respond."
Kemp said he's "praying for the safety of those in our
classrooms, both in Barrow County and across the
state."
In Atlanta, authorities will "bolster patrols" around
schools on Wednesday "out of an abundance of caution,"
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said in a statement.
"My prayers are with the high school students, staff
and families affected by the senseless act of violence
in Winder," Dickens said.
This is a developing story. Please check back for
updates.

Such a tragedy - and am going to guess that the 14yo
shooter was a white kid (yes, because how many school
shooting have been done by children of color?) who was a
loner who was bullied, with no friends and the gun was
either his parents or his parents got him the gun.
When will the Republicans get the gun lobbyists out of
their front pockets? Start by banning all assault rifles
- there is absolutely no need for them in our country
unless one is military or law enforcement. None.

The 14 yo will be tried as an adult.
So the real adults fail him again, and continue their
crimes against him. He is doomed to unspeakable
horrors.
He had made threats of a school shooting a year ago, a
truly disturbed child. What happened to him?

all good questions. And, I am not sure I agree with
trying a 14 yr old as an adult.
At 14, they are still very much a child..as horrendous
an act, this is not a human with full capacity thinking.
Waiting for answers for this kid. Did he get treatment
after his first threats? Did his family poo-poo the
danger? Was he playing out some anti-hero game in his
head? Was he suicidal? Was he bullied or abused?
So many questions, and just tragic all the way around.

More info... This is all I could get off the site, the
rest of the article is behind a pay-wall (and I'm not
subscribing lol):
"By Rosie Manins
1 hour ago
Marcee Gray, the mother of the suspect in Wednesday’s
Apalachee High School shooting, has a criminal record
spanning more than 17 years and four counties, court
records show.
The 43-year-old has faced prosecution in Barrow, Fulton
and Forsyth counties, accused of domestic violence,
drug possession, property damage and traffic
violations. She has also faced civil fraud charges
related to a vehicle purchase and was in jail in Ben
Hill County as recently as April, according to publicly
available court filings...."
Sounds like this kid came from a home and parent(s?)
where abuse, drugs, criminal activity, etc. was all
present.
It's a good possibility this kid was either in foster
care or other family members if his mom was in jail.
the article speaks only of this kid's mother and
doesn't mention the father.

This article does show he has a father and was with him
a year ago when questioned about online threats:
"Suspect previously questioned by authorities
Gray was questioned by law enforcement last year
regarding “anonymous tips about online threats to
commit a school shooting,” and the online threats
included photos of guns, according to a joint statement
from FBI Atlanta and the Jackson County Sheriff’s
Office.
But Gray denied making the threats online, the agencies
said.
“The father stated he had hunting guns in the house,
but the subject did not have unsupervised access to
them,” the agencies said. At the time, “there was no
probable cause for arrest or to take any additional law
enforcement action on the local, state, or federal
levels.”
Jackson County Sheriff Janis Mangum released more
details about the case hours after the shooting
Wednesday.
“The FBI confirmed that they received an anonymous tip
in May 2023 regarding threats posted to an online
gaming site,” Mangum posted on Facebook. “In under 24
hours, the FBI determined the post originated in
Georgia and the FBI Field Officer referred the
information to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office
Criminal Investigations Division for action.”
The sheriff’s office located and interviewed a 13-year-
old boy and his father shortly afterward, Mangum wrote.
“The 13 year old denied making the threats online,” the
sheriff wrote. “A thorough investigation was conducted.
During the course of this investigation, the gaming
site threats could not be substantiated. The Jackson
County Sheriff’s Office alerted local schools for
continued monitoring of the subject.” (excerpt..full
article at link)
So, it looks like..while Mom was in jail, his father
had custody.

Certainly sounds like it.
Instead of asking where he got the rifle the state
treats him as an adult so they have an sacrifice for
rage. It doesn't protect students, it abandons health
and safety to the gun gods.
