Georgia school shooting: FBI were alerted last year to teen suspect

A boy accused of killing four people at his high school in Georgia was interviewed last year by police about anonymous online threats, the FBI has said.

Colt Gray, 14, denied to police in May 2023 he was behind internet posts that contained images of guns, warning of a school shooting.

The suspect opened fire on Wednesday at Apalachee High School in the city of Winder, killing two teachers and two pupils, investigators say. Eight students and one teacher were injured.

He was arrested on campus and will be prosecuted as an adult.

 Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party nominee for president, called the shooting a "senseless tragedy".

"We've gotta stop it. We have to end this epidemic of gun violence," she said at the start of a campaign event in New Hampshire.

Former president Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, wrote on social media: "Our hearts are with the victims and loved ones of those affected by the tragic event in Winder, GA. These cherished children were taken from us far too soon by a sick and deranged monster."
