Texts from Georgia school shooter's mother reveal she warned of 'extreme emergency' minutes before her son opened fire
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The mother of suspected Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray told her family that she called her son's school to warn them of an 'extreme emergency' on the morning that he allegedly killed four people.
Marcee Gray, the alleged shooter's mother, was seen in text messages shared by The Washington Post telling her family: 'I told them it was an extreme emergency and for them to go immediately and find [my son] to check on him.'
The outlet reported that a call log from the family's shared phone plan shows Gray made a 10-minute call to the school at 9:50am on Wednesday, about half an hour before Colt allegedly opened fire.
Marcee's father, Charles Polhamus, told The New York Post that Colt had delivered an apology to his mother via text message prior to the shooting, prompting her to call the school.
'I’m sorry, mom,' the text read.
Marcee then hopped in her car and started driving toward the school, more than three hours away. But about half way there she learned that the tragedy she was racing to prevent had already taken place.
A counselor at the school told Marcee that her son had been talking about school shootings that morning, according to Gray's sister Annie Brown who spoke to The Post.
Soon after the shooting began, reports surfaced that Apalachee High School received a warning that the tragedy could unfold.
In reported texts sent by Marcee, she told her family: 'I was the one that notified the school counselor at the high school.'
According to Brown, her sister called the school because she learned something concerning that made her fear an 'impending disaster', however it is not reported what it was that she learned.
Her sister Annie Brown said that Marcee was told by a counselor that her son was displaying disturbing behavior that morning, ominously talking about school shootings.
At the same time, one of Colt's classmates Lyela Sayarath - who previously shared a chilling account of how close she came to death - told the outlet that a school administrator went to find Colt in their class.
In her previous account to CNN, Sayarath said Colt was a serial class skipper and she assumed that was what he was doing when he left the classroom minutes before the administrator arrived.
However, there was some confusion as there was another student with a similar name to Colt's in the class. Neither was in the room, and the administrator left the room with the similarly named student's backpack.
Further text exchanges reported from Marcee's sister showed that Colt's school and family were also in contact regarding his deteriorating mental health at least a week before the shooting.
In one text, Brown reportedly told a relative that Colt was having 'homicidal and suicidal thoughts.'
'He shouldn’t have a gun, and he should’ve been in THERAPY months ago,' she added in the text.
Brown said that her nephew had spent months 'begging' for mental health help, but the 'adults around him failed him.'
Marcee was previously ordered by a court to have only limited contact with Colt's father Colin after she pleaded guilty in December to a charge of family violence.
The alleged gunman's parents split in 2022 after they were evicted, and the family had been involved in Georgia's child welfare agency during their turmoil.
Months later in May 2023, the family were visited by local law enforcement after receiving an FBI tip about threats to carry out a school shooting. Colt denied making the threats, and Colin told cops that he kept hunting rifles in the home but his son was not allowed to use them unsupervised.
