The 14-year-old suspect for Winter, U.S. high school, has been in custody since Wednesday night (04.09.2024), said the director of the Bureau of Investigation at a press conference. The juvenile perpetrator of the massacre, Colt Gray will be charged with murder in connection with the death of two teachers and two students at Apalachee High School in Winter, Georgia, authorities said. The victims were 14-year-old Mason Schermerhorn, 14-year-old Christian Angulo, 39-year-old Richard Aspinwall, and 53-year-old Christina Irimie. The school website shows that both adults were both math teachers and Aspinwall was also an assistant football coach. Mason Schermerhorn’s family, told Channel 12 News that their son was autistic and the first victim identified. Gray is a student at Apalachee High School and will be treated as an adult in the judicial system, authorities said at a previous press conference. Nine other victims – eight students and one professor – were taken to hospitals after the shooting Wednesday morning, according to the GBI. As CNN writes, shooting led students and teachers desperately running for cover, as schools across the county entered lockdown and parents desperately searched for information. During the massacre, 14-year-old Macey Right texted her mom saying she heard gunshots and asked her mother to come pick her up. She and her friends were taken hand and prayed in their class, she said. A few moments later, they heard blows and voices, according to Macey. “I heard gunshots outside my class and people screaming, people begging not to shoot them and then people sitting next to me shaking and crying,” Macy said. Erin Clark was at work Wednesday morning when she received a series of messages from her son, a senior, who attended the class at Apalachee High School. “Shooting in school”. “I am afraid,” he wrote. “I am not joking,” he said. “I’m leaving work,” Clark replied. “I love you”, replied her son, 17-year-old Ethan Haney. “I love you too, baby”, his mom sent before she ran to high school. Clark told CNN that her son heard eight or nine shots before closing his class door and, with the help of another classmate, moved chairs and tables to block the door. Clark told CNN she was “absolutely terrified” when she read her son’s messages. “I was just praying that he would stay safe,” he said.
