He is alive and in custody, the GBI said in a post on X. Two of the people killed were students, while the other two were teachers. It's unclear what his motive was at this time. The victims killed were identified late Wednesday night.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said that Gray was actually investigated in 2023 by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office after Gray allegedly posted online threats containing photos of guns in a threat to commit a school shooting. The time and location were unknown.

Gray was 13 years old at the time. At the time, the father said that though he had hunting guns in the house, his son did not have "unsupervised access" to them. The boy also denied making the online threats.

He has a bond hearing set for Friday at 8:30 a.m. at the Barrow County Courthouse.
