A boy accused of killing four people at his Apalachee High School in Georgia was interviewed last year by police about anonymous online threats according to the FBI.

14 year old Colt Gray denied to police in May 2023 he was behind internet posts that contained images of guns, warning of a school shooting.

The suspect opened fire yesterday at Apalachee High School in the city of Winder, killing two teachers and two pupils, while eight students and one teacher were injured.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation says he was arrested on campus and was charged with four counts of murder and will face court later today.

Police have identified the victims as teachers Christina Irimie and Richard Aspinwall and 14-year-old students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo.

In a news conference, Georgia Bureau of Investigation director Chris Hosey says the gun used was an "AR-platform style weapon".
