The mother of the 14-year-old boy charged with fatally shooting four people at his Georgia high school this past week told relatives that she had called the school on the morning of the attack, warning of an "extreme emergency," her sister said Saturday.

Mother of Georgia suspect called school minutes before shooting, family says

You have weapons in the house. Are they accessible to him? They are, I mean, there's nothing loaded but they are down an interview with the Jackson County Sheriff's office in 2023 shedding light on the grays and their guns all the way back then. It was a, it was a 22 and all of this in 2023 records show the FBI passed along a tip to Jackson County about a user on a gaming app. Discord believed to be Colt Gray asking for locations to shoot up, sending pictures of his guns and threatening to do it really soon. It's a little bit of a shock. So please instill in him if this is where this is coming from at the time. Jackson County investigators wrote that due to the inconsistent nature of the information received by the FBI, the allegation that Colt is the user behind the discord account that made the threat cannot be substantiated. They exceptionally cleared the case with a warning pretty much what we've done in reference to this and that we talked and you were saying that you didn't say anything like that and I gotta take your word and I hope you're being honest with me, I'm not saying you're lying but it's, it's, it's not unusual for people to lie to the police.
