Apalachee High School shooting suspect Colt Gray Mugshot released
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.

18-year-old Kyler Naely charged for the murder in shooting death of 16-year-old Ja’Tycie Williams
An 18-year-old suspect has been arrested and charged in a deadly shooting that occurred in October, which claimed the life of a 16-year-old and injured another.
The incident began on October 6, 2024, shortly after 12:45 a.m., when officers were called to a shooting on I-244 near Yale Avenue.
Upon arrival, they discovered a gray SUV riddled with bullet holes and shattered windows. Investigators determined that seven people were inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Two occupants of the vehicle suffered gunshot wounds.
One victim, 16-year-old Ja’Tycie Williams, sustained critical injuries and succumbed to them several weeks later. The other victim suffered a minor gunshot wound to the arm and survived.
Preliminary investigations revealed the incident was linked to a fight at the Tulsa State Fair earlier that evening.
Witnesses reported that the altercation, which occurred as the group was leaving the fairgrounds, likely escalated into the highway shooting.
Following an in-depth investigation, Tulsa Police Homicide Detectives identified 18-year-old Kyler Naely as the suspect responsible for the shooting.
On November 19, 2024, Naely was arrested, charged with first-degree murder, and booked into the Tulsa County Jail.
Authorities emphasize that the case remains under investigation and are urging anyone with additional information to contact Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
