Multiple Law enforcement officials say that the high school at the center of today’s mass shooting in Georgia received an earlier phone threat.
Law enforcement officials in Georgia say Apalachee High School received a phone call this morning warning that there would be shootings at five schools and that Apalachee would be the first.
It is not known who placed the call. Officials say they are investigating the call and where it originated.
Lyela Sayarath, a junior at Apalachee High School, stated she was sitting next to suspected gunman Colt Gray moments before the deadly shooting occurred Wednesday.
She said Colt left the classroom at the beginning of their Algebra 1 class around 9:45 a.m. local time. Lyela thought Colt was going to the bathroom, but he didn’t take a pass, so she assumed he was skipping class, she said.
