00:00Students, teachers and parents are mourning the loss of two 14-year-old students and two
00:06teachers who died in a school shooting in the U.S. state of Georgia on Thursday.
00:12The shooter, a 14-year-old fellow student, used an AR platform style weapon, according
00:17to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey.
00:21Obviously, the shooter was armed and our school resource officer engaged him.
00:27And the shooter quickly realized that if he did not give up, that it would end with
00:36an OIS, or an officer-involved shooting.
00:38He gave up, got on the ground and the deputy took him into custody.
00:43The shooter had reportedly already been questioned by police over a year ago after the FBI received
00:49anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting.
00:53The state's Division of Family and Children's Services also had previous contact with the
00:58teen and will investigate whether that has any connection with the shooting.
