Georgia authorities have released audio from a 2023 visit to the home of Colt Gray, now charged with felony murder in the Apalachee High School shooting.
The visit followed an anonymous FBI tip about Gray’s threats on Discord to shoot up a middle school. Jackson County officers documented their interaction with the then 13-year-old Gray in a May 21, 2023, report.
During the police questioning, Colin Gray, father of the suspect, dismissed the visit as unfounded and described his son’s challenges, including bullying at Jefferson Middle School and family issues due to divorce and eviction. Colin emphasized that Colt was aware of the seriousness of the situation and had been doing well despite wanting to leave the school district.
Since the shooting, many leftist politicians have been advocating for stricter gun control measures to limit school shootings, believing it to be the solution. Presidential candidate Kamala Harris tweeted the following:
Together, we passed the first bipartisan law addressing gun violence prevention in nearly 30 years, but we have more work to do.
We must pass an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, and red flag laws.

School shootings are not just a fact of life.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We can take action to protect our children—and we will. https://t.co/Oi8s9MfgvU

Former president Barack Obama echoed her sentiment, writing: “It doesn’t have to be this way.”
It’s important to note, however, that both Harris and Walz are opponents to the idea of having security officers stationed in schools:
Kamala Harris supports removing SROs from schools. Even though two of them stopped the shooter in Georgia.
Tim Walz signed legislation that forced SROs out & this was the result when kids returned to school.
Mankato of all places.
Walz taught at Mankato West High School. https://t.co/HPo8nxrHoA pic.twitter.com/mHp5cJD1CB
