In a FAQ posted by the GBI on Thursday, investigators say that 14-year-old Colt Gray brought the “****** semi-automatic AR-15 style rifle” to school with him on Sept. 4 in his backpack. While the ******* could not be broken down, officials say the teen was able to hide it in his bag.

Once on campus, authorities say Colt Gray kept the **** hidden until second *******. At that time, the GBI reports that Gray “asked a teacher if he could go to the front office and speak to someone.”

After getting permission, the GBI reports that the teen took his bag with him and went to the restroom to hide from teachers.

“Later, he took out his rifle, and began *********,” the GBI reports.

Colt Gray was apprehended at 10:26 a.m., minutes after the first reports of shots fired were sent to law enforcement. He has been charged with four counts of felony *******, with additional charges pending a grand jury review. His father, Colin Gray, was also arrested for allegedly purchasing the AR-15-style **** used in the *********, despite knowing his son was troubled and potentially in need of mental health treatment.
