The Apalachee high school shooting that took place on September 4 2024 left two students and two teachers dead. Mason Schermerhorn, 14 student, Christian Angulo, 14 student, Richard Aspinwall, teacher, and Christina Irimie, teacher lost their lives at the hands of a 14 year old Colt Gray who court documents said will be prosecuted as an adult. The 14 year old student opened fire at his Georgia high school on Wednesday, killing two students and two teachers before surrendering to school resource officers. The tragedy was exacerbated as it now appearing that the mother had warned the school about her son’s state of mind but her warnings were largely ignored.
According to information from Fox news and Washington post, the mother of the suspected Apalachee High school gunman told family members that she had called the school in the morning of the shooting and warned a counselor about an “extreme emergency” involving her 14 year old son.
