Oddly, one of the LE people at the latest press conference said that in addition to the suspect "Colt Gray," there is another student at the school by the name of "Colton Gray," who wasn't involved in the shooting. I assume they confirmed that, but it seems strange to me. But I guess it could be a very common name...
As far as I know, colt and Colton are both common names here (US), especially in the south and especially in the age group of kids in high school currently.
oh interesting. I think the shooter's younger age also played a role somehow.
Aww, man. I feel sorry for the other CG.
Don't forget that a large percentage of them are suicides.
I think we're still in the "fog of war" stage. A witness on CNN just swore up, down, and sideways that a female school employee was looking for either the suspect or someone with a very similar name shortly before the shooting.
The FBI had enough info, pictures of guns and the location the threat came from, to send the locals out to a very specific household. Presumably because they knew with 100% accuracy the threat originated there. So they asked the boy if he made the threats and he said no. Ok great, have a nice day. I hope that's not how it went down."In May 2023, the FBI's National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time," the FBI post read. "Within 24 hours, the FBI determined the online post originated in Georgia and the FBI's Atlanta Field Office referred the information to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for action."

The agency added that the sheriff's office "located a possible subject, a 13-year-old male, and interviewed him and his father. The father stated he had hunting guns in the house, but the subject did not have unsupervised access to them. The subject denied making the threats online," the FBI said.
Rbm.
First bolded : Imo, I would have considered that a red flag.
Second bolded : Obviously there were failures that led to today's heinous acts.
Wondering if the parent(s) will face any charges ?
Omo.
They say there was no probable cause for that, which makes absolutely no sense because as you say, they had specific information that led them to that house and that kid.
If they had photos of guns, why can't they look at the father's guns and at least confirm if the photos posted were of the father's guns.
Can't link so don't quote me, but talking heads on CNN indicate FBI notified the appropriate jurisdiction at the time but the family subsequently moved and (from what I can gather) the information did not follow the family to the new jurisdiction.
Yes, indeed.
