- Two 14-year-old students and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. Nine other people — eight students and one teacher — were wounded and hospitalized, all of whom are expected to survive.
- The suspect, a 14-year-old student at the school, and his father were questioned by law enforcement last year regarding “anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting,” according to FBI Atlanta and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. At that time, there was no probable cause for arrest.
- The gun used in Wednesday’s shooting was an AR-platform weapon, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation director. A law enforcement official told CNN earlier it was an AR-15-style rifle.
- The shooting is at least the 45th school shooting in 2024 and the deadliest this year, according to a CNN analysis.
