NPR - The FBI had prior warning about the 14-year-old accused of fatally shooting two students and two teachers and injuring nine others at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., the agency said on X. Authorities received several anonymous tips in May 2023 about atonline threats to commit a school shooting an unidentified location and time. Those threats contained images of guns. The FBI says it identified and interviewed the then-13-year-old suspect and his father. The father said they had hunting guns but the teen didn’t have unsupervised access to them. The boy denied making the online threats. The sheriff’s office alerted local schools to monitor him, but there was no probable cause for arrest or additional law enforcement action at the time. Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said the teen would be charged with murder and tried as an adult.
