The Atlanta office of the FBI has released new details about the 14-year-old boy accused of killing two students and two teachers and injuring nine others at Apalachee High School on Wednesday in Winder, Ga.
In a post on X, the FBI said in May 2023 it received “several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time,” and that the threats contained images of guns.
The agency says the sheriff’s office identified a suspect, a 13-year-old male, and interviewed him and his father. “The father stated he had hunting guns in the house, but the subject did not have unsupervised access to them. The subject denied making the threats online,” the post said.
The FBI said the sheriff’s office alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject, but that there was no probable cause for arrest or to take any additional law enforcement action. The agency confirmed that the then-13-year-old is the same teenager who was taken into custody after Wednesday's shooting.
