Georgia authorities have released audio from the 2023 visit to the home of the alleged Georgia high school shooter after an anonymous report to the FBI over online threats about “possibly threatening to shoot up a middle school” in a group chat on messaging app Discord surfaced.
Jackson County, Georgia, sheriff’s officers spoke face-to-face with the boy who is now charged with felony murder in the deaths of four at Apalachee High School in Winder on Wednesday.
The sheriff’s officers described their interactions in a detailed investigation report from May 21, 2023, when suspect Colt Gray was 13 years old, after being tipped off by the FBI about a threat on the messaging app Discord, popular with some video gamers, to shoot up a middle school.
When the police begin questioning Colin Gray, the father shared more about Gray’s home life and the accusation, saying this visit was “bull—-” and a terrorist threat.
“He’s going through a lot…very difficult for him to go to school and not get picked on,” Colin said.
Colin told the officer that he and Colt’s mom got divorced and that they had been evicted.
“He struggled at first with the separation. I’ve been taking him to school. He goes to Jefferson Middle school. He’s been doing really good,” Colin explained.
The officer acknowledges the severity of the visit and Colin agrees and says that Colt “knows how serious it is, trust me.
