FBI investigated alleged Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray, 14, in 2023 over school shooting threats
Colt Gray, the alleged teen gunman who killed four people at a Georgia high school, has been on the FBI’s radar since last year — when he was interviewed in connection to online school shooting threats, the bureau revealed.
In May 2023, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received several tips about online threats to commit a school shooting — with the harrowing remarks including photos of guns, the statement said.
The Jackson County Sheriffs’ Office located Gray, then just 13, and interviewed him and his father.
His dad said he had hunting guns in the house — but Gray didn’t have unsupervised access to them, according to the statement
Gray also denied making online threats.
Officials, however, alerted local schools “for continued monitoring” of Gray, per the statement.
