On September 4, a tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia resulted in the deaths of two teachers and two students, with nine others injured. The alleged shooter, 14-year-old Colt Gray, is facing four counts of felony murder and will be tried as an adult, while his father, Colin Gray, is charged with multiple counts including second-degree murder for allegedly purchasing the rifle used in the attack. Emergency response to the incident was marked by a significant influx of 911 calls, with worried parents reporting that their children were in danger. The school had recently implemented a Crisis Alert system designed to expedite emergency notifications but was unable to prevent the tragedy. This incident is noted as the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. since March 2023, highlighting ongoing concerns over school safety. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the roles of both the shooter and his father.
