The mother of the Georgia shooting suspect called the school 30 minutes warning of an “extreme emergency” before he allegedly opened fire there, his aunt has claimed.
Colt Gray, 14, is accused of shooting dead two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Winder, near Atlanta, on Wednesday.
Another teacher and a further eight students were injured but are expected to make a full recovery, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Annie Brown, the teenager’s aunt, has said her sister called the school counsellor half an hour before gunfire broke out.
She told the Washington Post the boy’s mother warned of an “extreme emergency” involving her son and that they needed to find him “immediately”.
Phone records shared with the newspaper, and later confirmed by the Associated Press, show a 10-minute call was made from the family’s shared phone plan to the school at that time.
I cannot imagine the panic, frustration, and just powerlessness this woman must have felt. She really seems to have tried to do right by her son and the other kids every step of the way. She might officially have the worst ex husband.
Yes, truly I was blown away when he bought his kid an AR-15 after they got a visit from the authorities about his threats of shooting up the place. He also knew his son was dealing with bullying…
I feel bad for the mother most of all.
She’s a fent addict and her husband has a restraining order against her. Neither parents are good parents.
The kid came from a horribly dysfunctional home.
The points you made are correct, however these facts don’t detract from the fact that she did try to save innocent lives by trying to prevent this. She saw the writing on the wall and tried to do what was right. Addicts are still human beings, however flawed they may be.
She still had enough humanity to try and stop this from happening, and we should recognise that. There are people out there who would do nothing, even without the issues this lady has.
Yes, there are some truths to that, and she did try to do right in the end.
But if she would had been the mother to her son that he so clearly needed, maybe this wouldn’t have happened to begin with.
Dude u said she was addicted to fent…wtf u think is gonna happen??
Pretty much what happened. Why?
Addiction is a disease. Its almost like you are expecting someone with stage 3 cancer to just stop producing cancers cells in their body.
Lmao, well, with the ever slight fucking difference being that cancer is not a choice
Oh my god, its just like addiction is not a choice. Geez and i thought you were just a completely terrible person. But it turns out you do understand other peoplr can have issues that are not their own fault!
My sister in law died of a fent addiction and overdose. Her only crime, breaking her leg. Fent addicts are rarely bad people, and many are addicts because of an injury and for making the mistake of accepting a prescription and trusting their doctor
Regardsless and anecdote aside, I mean fentanyl addicts makes for awful parents. No child should have to have an addict for a parent. They deserve better.
