Who is Colt Gray, the accused Georgia school shooter?
0 seconds of 1 minute, 9 secondsVolume 0%
Police have released the mug shot for Georgia school shooting suspect Colt Gray — as his aunt said the 14-year-old was “begging for help” prior to the shooting.
The mug shot shows baby-face Gray with long dyed hair and a blank stare.
The first pictures of Gray emerged on Thursday, with one showing him in his 2022 yearbook — smiling and wearing a thick necklace and a red Georgia Bulldogs T-shirt. The alleged gunman would have been age 12 or 13.
Gray was taken into custody Wednesday minutes after he allegedly opened fire in Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., killing two fellow students and two teachers, according to authorities.
Nine others were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
His aunt, Annie Brown, told the Washington Post on Thursday that the boy had been “begging for help from everybody around him.”
She said he had been struggling with his mental health prior to the shooting.

“The adults around him failed him,” she lamented.
Brown, who lives in Florida, declined to elaborate on her nephew’s mental health struggles, but said she tried to get him help from a distance.
The boy had a troubled home life that exacerbated his issues, she added.

Brown enrolled Gray at Haymon-Morris Middle School in Barrow County in January, so that he could finish the eighth grade following a period of absenteeism, she told the Washington Post.
He started ninth grade at Apalachee when classes resumed on Aug. 1, just over a month before the shooting.
The teen was investigated by the FBI in May 2023 over online school shooting threats, which included posts with photos of guns, the agency revealed Wednesday.
Gray, then 13, and his father were interviewed by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office at the time.
