According to reports, Marcee Gray, the mother of the shooter involved in the Georgia mass shooting last week, told family members that she called the high school the morning of the shooting and warned a counselor about an “extreme emergency” involving her 14-year-old son Colt.
“I was the one that notified the school counselor at the high school,” Marcee reportedly texted a family member.
“I told them it was an extreme emergency and for them to go immediately and find [my son] to check on him.”
According to the shooter’s sister, Annie Brown, a counselor told Marcee that her son Colt had been talking about school shootings earlier in the morning.
The school allegedly got mixed up with names and confiscated the wrong backpack who belonged to another student.
“I am so, so sorry and can not fathom the pain and suffering they are going through right now,” Marcee said of the victim’s families.
Earlier this week, American Faith reported that the FBI admitted they received anonymous tips on threats against the Georgia school shooting suspect a year ago.
The suspect was interviewed by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in 2023, according to a statement from the FBI.
“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 statement said. “The online threatscontained photographs of guns. 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 Jackson County Sheriffs’ Office located a possible subject, a 13-year-old male, and interviewed him and his father,” the statement added. “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. Jackson County alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject.”
At the time, there was “no probably cause for arrest,” the FBI explained.
In a subsequent statement on X, the FBI confirmed that the subject in the 2023 interview was the “same subject in custody.”
