The family of Georgia school shooter Colt Gray, 14, threatened to go ‘full throttle’ after the teenager was charged as an adult for murdering four people on Wednesday.
Suspect’s Family Defends and Threatens
Gray’s relatives leapt to his defense within hours of him opening fire at Apalachee High School, where he allegedly killed four people and injured nine others.
The teenager’s aunt, Annie Polhamus Brown, took to Facebook during the aftermath, bringing up the issues he ‘dealt with’ and saying she ‘will take care of my nephew and what he needs on this side.’
“Just check yourself before you speak about a child that never asked to deal with the bull**** he saw on a daily basis,” she said in the posts, which have now been deleted. “Y’all ready to see Polhamus blood in full throttle? Nah, I wouldn’t either.”
Tragic Details of the Shooting
Authorities say they are still investigating how Gray was able to bring an AR-style weapon inside his school, with footage of the aftermath appearing to show the weapon on the floor as terrified students were escorted down hallways to safety.
At least 13 people were shot in the chaos, including two students and two teachers killed. The victims were identified as teachers Christina Irimie and Richard Aspinwall, and students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14.
Suspect’s Troubling Behavior Revealed
A junior at the school, Lyela Sayarath, said she was sat next to Colt Gray in algebra class just minutes before he began the shooting spree.
She said Gray “never really talked, he wasn’t (in school) most times, he would just skip class… Even when he would have talked, it was one word answers.”
Sayarath said she “wasn’t surprised” when Gray was identified as the shooter, and said that “when you think of shooters and the way they act, it’s usually the quiet kid and he was the one that fit that description.”
