This morning, tragic details emerged from a school shooting in Georgia that claimed the lives of two students and two beloved teachers. The incident occurred at Appalachia High School, where a 14-year-old suspect, identified as Colt Gray, is expected to face murder charges. He has a concerning history, reportedly questioned by authorities last year regarding online threats related to a school shooting. As police investigate how he acquired an AR-15 style rifle, students recounted harrowing experiences, describing the terror they felt during the lockdown. Eyewitness accounts reveal a chaotic scene, with students and teachers barricading doors as gunfire erupted. The victims, including 14-year-olds Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and teachers Christina Aaron and Richard Aspinwall, are mourned by the community, which is coming together to support the grieving families.
