Apalachee High School Shooting: 4 Killed, 9 Injured

A tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers, with nine others injured. The suspect, 14-year-old Colt Gray, was apprehended quickly and will be charged as an adult. Gray had been on law enforcement’s radar since 2023 due to online threats, but no action had been taken at the time. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp emphasized the need for mourning and investigation rather than politics. The incident has led to increased law enforcement presence in schools and has intensified discussions about Georgia's lax gun laws, which have been criticized by gun safety organizations. The Winder community held a vigil to mourn the victims and support those affected by the tragedy.
