Four people were killed and nine others were injured after a student at a Georgia high school opened fire on Wednesday morning.
Four people, two students and two teachers, were killed on Wednesday morning at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, after a 14-year-old opened fire and went on a rampage before surrendering to school resource officers.
During a nighttime news conference, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey identified the victims as students Mason Schermehorn and Christian Angulo, both aged 14, and teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie.
At least nine other people, including eight students and one teacher, were injured in the shooting and were taken to hospitals. Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said they were all expected to survive, as reported by the Associated Press.
„Those that are deceased are heroes in my book“, Hosey said on Wednesday night. „Those that are in the hospital recovering right now are heroes in my book.“
