A 14-year-old boy has been charged with fatally shooting two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Georgia. The suspect had previously been interviewed by investigators, with his father claiming the teenager did not have unsupervised access to the family's guns. However, it is reported that the suspect was interviewed by police more than a year ago, after making online threats about carrying out a school shooting. The suspect used an assault-style rifle in the attack, which is the latest in a series of school shootings across the US. The father of the suspect stated that the teenager had access to hunting guns in the house, contradicting his earlier claim that the son did not have access to the family's guns.
These measures will not bring those who were tragically killed today back, but it will help prevent more tragic gun violence from ripping more families apart.
I can just remember my hands were shaking. I felt bad because everybody was crying, everybody was trying to find their siblings.
These kids shouldn't have lost their lives. These parents, these adults, these teachers should not have lost their lives yesterday.
The first thing you wake up and think about is like, somebody lost the coach, somebody lost their dad, somebody lost their best friend.
When he did speak, it was just one-word answers.
The father stated he had hunting guns in the house, but the subject did not have unsupervised access to them. The subject denied making the threats online. Jackson county alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject.
He saw we weren't going to let him in, and then he just started shooting in the classroom next to ours.
He never really talked; he wasn't around much and would skip class.
