Another day, another school shooting in America.

It’s been about a month since kids across the Southern United States have returned to class and well, we’ve already had our first nationally covered school shooting.

Never takes long these days, does it?

It happened in the State of Georgia. A fourteen year old boy opened fire in his school, killing two teachers and two fellow students and injuring more.

Brandon Drenon & Max Matza with BBC write:

“A 14-year-old boy will be charged with murder after four people were killed and nine injured in a shooting at a Georgia high school.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said two pupils and two teachers died in Wednesday’s attack at Apalachee High School in Winder, Barrow County.

Colt Gray, a student at the school, was arrested by two officers on campus, an official said. He will be tried as an adult.

It has emerged that the FBI interviewed him last year after receiving anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting, but agents did not arrest him at the time…”
