A bond hearing for Gray is scheduled for Friday at 8:30 a.m. at the Barrow County Courthouse.
The mugshot of Colt Gray, the 14-year-old suspect in the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School, has been released to the public.
Gray opened fire at the school yesterday, resulting in the deaths of two teachers and two students. Nine others were injured.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Gray, charging him with four counts of felony murder. The warrants are identical except for the victim’s name.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has confirmed that Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student at Apalachee High School, is the suspect in the tragic shooting that occurred at the school.
Gray has been charged with four counts of felony murder, and additional charges are expected. He is currently in custody.
Two of the victims of the shooting were students, while the other two were teachers. The motive behind the attack remains unclear at this time.
The FBI revealed that Gray was investigated by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in 2023 after allegedly posting online threats containing images of guns.
The threats included plans to commit a school shooting at an unspecified location and time. At the time, Gray was 13 years old.
Gray’s father stated that although there were hunting guns in their home, his son did not have unsupervised access to them. The boy also denied making the online threats.
A bond hearing for Gray is scheduled for Friday at 8:30 a.m. at the Barrow County Courthouse.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. โ Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.

The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
