Panic Button System Activated During Georgia School Shooting

A tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers, with 9 others injured. The 14-year-old suspect, Colt Gray, was apprehended by school resource officers just minutes after the incident began, and he faces multiple charges, including felony murder. The quick response was aided by a recently implemented panic button system, which allowed teachers to alert law enforcement and initiate lockdown procedures almost immediately. The system, developed by CENTEGIX, is designed to enhance emergency response and has been credited with preventing further casualties. Although the FBI had previously investigated threats associated with Gray, no actionable evidence was found prior to the shooting. The incident has reignited discussions on school safety measures and the importance of community vigilance.
