At Apalachee High School in Georgia, there were at least four murders and nine injuries.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed that a suspect was alive and in custody after reports of an ‘active shooter’ arrived at 10.20 a.m. this morning.

CNN reported earlier today that the shooter inside Apalachee High School was thought to be a 14-year-old kid.

In a subsequent press conference, law officials revealed that the suspect was 14-year-old Colt Gray. He was a pupil at the school.

Gray will face murder charges and an adult prosecution, according to Chris Hosey, Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Furthermore, Hosey reported that four people perished, two instructors and two pupils, and nine were injured.

“This tragedy resulted in the deaths of four persons. Local hospitals have received nine people with a variety of injuries. Of those who died, two were students and two were teachers at the school,” Hosey explained.

Afterward, authorities identified the fatalities as 14-year-old students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, along with teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie.

According to Apalachee’s website, Aspinwall and Irimie taught arithmetic at the institution.

At a press conference earlier today, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith stated that ‘multiple injuries’ had occurred. He declined to offer any details, stating that it would take ‘multiple days’ to assess what had occurred.

“Every minute, it’s developing on what we’re finding,” stated the scientist.

The Barrow County Sheriff’s Office added in a statement that deputies and emergency medical personnel rushed to the school at around 10.30 a.m. after receiving a call about an ‘active shooter’.

Local officials received assistance from FBI agents from Atlanta at the location.

President Joe Biden addressed the incident in a statement issued earlier today, writing: “What should have been a joyful back-to-school season in Winder, Georgia, has now turned into another horrific reminder of how gun violence continues to tear our communities apart.”

“Students across the country are learning how to duck and cover instead of how to read and write,” he said. “We cannot continue to accept this as normal.”

Vice President Kamala Harris also addressed the massacre at an event in New Hampshire today, calling it a ‘senseless tragedy.’

“It’s just outrageous that every day in our country, in the United States of America, parents have to send their children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive,” Harris told the audience.

“We’ve got to stop it,” she said, “and it doesn’t have to be this way.”
