00:00Hey, good to see you.
00:14The English news TV, the Appalachee High School shooting in Winder, Georgia, resulted in the
00:20deaths of four individuals to students, Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, and two teachers,
00:27Christina Irame and Richard Aspinwall.
00:30The suspect, 14-year-old Colt Gray, a student at the school, has been charged with four
00:37counts of felony murder and is expected to be tried as an adult.
00:41His father, Colin Gray, has also been arrested and charged with multiple counts of involuntary
00:48manslaughter, murder, and child cruelty for allegedly allowing his son access to the firearm
00:54used in the shooting, which he had reportedly purchased as a Christmas gift for his son.
01:00The incident unfolded when the suspect left his Algebra 1 class and attempted to re-enter,
01:06but was denied access by a classmate who saw the gun.
01:10He then turned to another classroom and opened fire.
01:13The shooting was the 45th school shooting in the United States this year and the deadliest
01:18since the March 2023 shooting at T. the Covenant School in Nashville.
01:24Despite the tragedy, the nine injured survivors are expected to make a full recovery.
01:29The suspect was apprehended by a school resource officer and has been cooperating with investigators
01:36admitting to the shooting after being read his Miranda rights.
01:40The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice is holding him at the Gainesville Regional
01:44Youth Detention Centers, and he is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday.
01:50Governor Brian Kemp described the shooting as everybody's worst nightmare, highlighting
01:56the frequency of mass shootings in the United States, with at least 385 mass shootings occurring
02:02this year, averaging more than 1.5 per day.
02:06The victims' families and the community are mourning the loss of the students and teachers
02:12who are being remembered for their kindness, dedication, and impact on those around them.
02:17The school's football game scheduled for Friday has been canceled, and the community
02:22is coming together to support the FAA.
02:25Millies of the victims threw initiatives like GoFundMe campaigns.
02:29In the aftermath of a shooting at a Georgia high school, a 14-year-old suspect, Colt Gray,
02:36was taken into custody.
02:38Reports indicated that there were casualties, with some sources mentioning four fatalities
02:43and 30 injuries, while others reported two deaths.
02:48David Fenix, a teacher wounded in the incident, expressed concern for his students and colleagues
02:53upon waking from surgery.
02:55The suspect, who had only been at the school for two days, had reportedly been experiencing
03:01anxiety and had visited the counselor's office the day before the shooting.
03:05The school's safety protocols, including a recently implemented CENTIGYX system that
03:10allows teachers to quickly alert law enforcement in case of an emergency, are credited with
03:16potentially preventing a larger tragedy.
03:19This system is part of a broader trend in Georgia and other states to introduce legislation
03:25for panic alarm systems in schools.
03:28The suspect, who was armed with an R-style rifle, will remain in the custody of the Georgia
03:34Department of Juvenile Justice until he turns 17, despite his case being transferred to
03:40the adult system due to Georgia law mandating adult trials for serious crimes committed
03:46by juveniles aged 13 to 17.
03:49Authorities are still investigating how the suspect obtained the weapon and the details
03:54surrounding the incident.
03:56Thanks for watching the English News TV and good luck.
