Teen's mother tipped off school before Georgia high school shooting

A teenager's mother warned the school prior to a fatal shooting, leading to the suspect's arrest and charges against him and his father.

According to the suspect's aunt and grandfather, the mother of the teenager suspected of the Georgia high school shooting had received a warning message from her son before the tragic incident. The suspect's name is Colt Gray, and the mother, Marcee Gray, received an alarming text from her son on the morning of the mass shooting at Apalachee High School.

Colt Gray, aged 14, sent a cryptic message to his mother, apologizing with the words, "I'm sorry, mom," which raised concerns and prompted Marcee Gray to contact the school about an unspecified "extreme emergency" involving her son. The message was reported to have been made at 9:50 a.m., about 30 minutes before the police were notified of the shooting.

Family's Response and Charges

The communication before the incident was confirmed by the suspect's grandfather and aunt, raising questions about Colt Gray's mental state before the tragic event. As the news unfolded, Gray was charged with four counts of murder and is expected to face additional charges related to the wounded and injured victims.

In the aftermath, Marcee Gray expressed her deep remorse to those affected by the "absolutely horrific" shooting, according to a report. As the investigation continues, a grand jury meeting is scheduled for October 17, followed by a planned arraignment before the trial process begins. The subsequent stages of the legal process will determine the course of justice for the victims and their families.
