In Georgia, a 14-year-old shot and killed two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in the city of Winder on Wednesday morning in the deadliest U.S. school shooting this year. At least nine others were injured. Authorities said Colt Gray, who used an “AR-platform-style weapon” in Wednesday’s rampage, will stand murder charges as an adult. This is 15-year-old student Itzel Navarrete, who survived the shooting.

Itzel Navarrete: “All of us, including me, I was crying. I was shaking. I was — I just didn’t know where my mind was. I was just so scared. But yeah, a lot of us were just crying. All you hear is crying. All you hear is like the sirens from outside, so it made us even more scared, because we were like, 'Oh, it's real. It’s real.’ We didn’t know how to react.”

The teenage suspect was on the FBI’s radar as far back as May 2023 and was interviewed when he was 13, along with his father, about anonymous online threats. His father said he kept hunting guns in the family home. Apalachee High School reportedly received a threat by phone ahead of the shooting, with the caller warning five schools would be targeted, starting with Apalachee. After headlines, we’ll go to Georgia for the latest.
