You'll see that the police are at the microphones in Windor, Georgia, in response to this shooting today. Four people dead and many others injured. Here we go.

[00:00:10]

A little more of a timeline of the events that have taken place here today and what we know up to this point with the investigation. At approximately 10:20 AM this morning, the Barra County Sheriff's office received alerts about reports of an active shooter and radio traffic from school resource officers concerning the same concern or having the same concern. Within minutes, law enforcement was on scene, as well as two school resource officers assigned here to the school who immediately encountered the subject within just minutes of this report going out. Once they encountered the subject, the subject immediately surrender to these officers, and he was taken into custody. Additionally, what I want you to know as of now, There are four individuals who are deceased from this incident, nine that have been taken to local hospitals with various injuries. Of those that are deceased, two were students and two were teachers here at the school. The priority right now for us within this investigation is to gather all the facts, to make sure that we're accurate with it, because this is a murder investigation. As the sheriff mentioned earlier this morning, the shooter is in custody. His name is Colt, that's C-O-L-T, gray.

He is a 14-year-old student here at the school. G-r-a-y. He is a 14-year student here at the high school. Again, he has been taken into custody. He will be charged with murder, and he will be handled as an adult. We're coordinating these charges, and obviously this investigation with district Attorney Brad Smith, who is a district Attorney for the Piedmont Judicial Circuit here. Since earlier this morning, we talked with him since the incident occurred. Numerous interviews have been taking place through our investigation with students, faculty, as well as any other witnesses that we could identify. Law enforcement had a very, very swift response to this incident once the incident was was determined that there was a concern here. Those resources, whether it was in that response or throughout this investigation to assist, came obviously from the Sheriff's office here, from other local law enforcement agencies, state law enforcement agencies, and federal law enforcement agencies as well. Two include not to be left out, multiple EMS personnel, multiple fire personnel and agencies. Those agencies responded here as well today I am extremely grateful, as I know the Sheriff is, for that quick response and the partnerships of working here together with what all is going on.

[00:03:09]

Currently, from the investigative perspective, we have crime scene agents and other special agents from the GBI from close to a dozen of our different work units from across the state that have responded here today to work on this investigation. Again, collecting evidence, conducting interviews, and and so forth. I do want to pass this along that if anyone has any information that wants to be passed on concerning this investigation, that they can do that anonymously at our tip line, at We've got 1-800-597-Tips or 1-800-597-8477.
