Who is Colt Gray, the suspected shooter?

• Police have identified the suspected shooter as Colt Gray, 14 years old. The suspect will be charged and tried as an adult.
• Gray was carrying an AR-style semiautomatic rifle, similar to the AR-15. This type of weapon has been linked to some of the most tragic mass shootings in U.S. history.
• In May 2023, Gray was questioned by local authorities after the FBI received multiple anonymous tips regarding online threats of a potential school shooting at an unknown time and place.

Student Lyela Sayarath described Gray as “pretty quiet.” She said: “he never really talked. I couldn’t tell you what his voice sounded like, or really even describe his face to you. He was just there.”
