Two student victims of the shooting are in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, Chief Barnes said. Four others, a teacher and three students, were treated for non life-threatening injuries, he said. Two of the four are still hospitalized in stable condition.

@LALegault The @rcmpgrcpolice needs a complete overhaul. In fact, all of law-enforcement needs a serious reboot. There should be zero, and I mean zero tolerance for racist, misogynistic and disparaging remarks against the homeless or any segment of society. #EnoughIsEnough.

Chris Hosey, the director of the #Georgia Bureau of Investigation [#GBI], said the charges stem from Gray “knowingly allowing” his son to possess a weapon.

Gray is in custody & the charges are “directly connected with the actions of his son & allowing him to possess a weapon,” Hosey said.

The father of the teenager accused of #Georgia’s deadliest #SchoolShooting told investigators looking into an online threat last year that he had been teaching his son about #guns & hunting, & that the boy claimed that his account had been hacked.
“I’m going to be mad as hell if he did” make threats about a school shooting, said the father, #ColinGray, acc/to a transcript of the May 2023 interview….”Then all the guns will go away,” he added.

“There are too many people who are able to access #guns that shouldn’t be able to,” President #Biden said in his first remarks about the #Georgia #SchoolShooting. “Let’s require safe storage of firearms. I know I have mine locked up,” he said, adding, “You've got to hold #parents accountable if they let their child have access to these guns.”

#Georgia #GunLaws scorecard is “F” - as in fail.

Georgia has very weak gun laws & is a major exporter of #crime #guns to other states. Lawmakers have an obligation to do more to save lives from #GunViolence.

At some point, Caldera said someone pounded on his classroom door & shouted "open up!" multiple times. When the knocking stopped, Caldera said he heard more gunshots & screams.

He said his class later evacuated to the football field.

Senior Sergio Caldera, 17, said he was in chemistry class when he heard gunshots at 11AM.

"My teacher goes & opens the door to see what’s going on. Another teacher comes running in & tells her to close the door because there’s an active shooter.”

He said his teacher locked the door & the students ran to the back of the room. Caldera said they heard screams from outside as they "huddled up."
