Cousins! Georgia Bureau of Investigation has officially released the names and photos of the four deceased victims following the Apalachee High School mass shooting!
According to CNN, the victims have been confirmed as students Mason Schermerhorn, 14, and Christian Angulo, 14 as well as math teachers Christina Irimie and Richard Aspinwall.
Reports read that eight students and one teacher were also wounded during the incident and hospitalized for treatment. Sources state that they are all expected to survive.
As we previously reported the gunman has been identified as 14-year-old student Colt Gray. An AR-platform weapon was retrieved on the scene as Gray immediately surrendered when approached by a resource officer following Wednesday’s massacre.
During a news conference held on Wednesday evening Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey revealed that Gray was questioned by authorities last year due to alarming online behavior. “Several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time,” said FBI Atlanta and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. “At that time, there was no probable cause for arrest.”
CNN reports that multiple members of law enforcement told them that Apalachee High School had received a phone threat early Wednesday morning warning of shootings at five schools and that Apalachee would be hit first.
Authorities have declared that Gray acted alone and that there is no evidence citing that there was a second gunman.“Any leads of any potential associates of the shooter that was involved in this incident.” At this point, there’s no evidence that any additional shooter was involved, and no evidence of a list of schools being targeted, Hosey said.
Schools in the county will be closed for the remainder of the week as authorities continue to investigate.
