Georgia school shooting suspect seen in previous police video
SUMMARY: In a conversation, someone asks another person if their dad explained details about a school shooting they mentioned. The respondent clarifies they aren’t involved, stating they never mentioned anything specific and might have been mistaken. They confirm they used Discord previously but deleted their account due to a security issue. They last used Discord at a location called Traditions and don’t recall anyone discussing school shootings during their time on the platform. The conversation suggests uncertainty and concern regarding the topic of school shootings and online discussions about it.
Jackson County deputies interviewed Colt Gray over a year ago while looking into school threats made online, but didn’t have enough evidence for an arrest.

Study: AI and data centers could drive cost of energy up by 70% over 10 years | Virginia
SUMMARY: A report by the Jack Kemp Foundation warns that average American energy bills could rise by 25% to 70% over the next decade due to soaring energy demands driven by AI, hyperscale data centers, and advanced manufacturing. The surge is straining the U.S. power grid, leading to significant price increases in capacity markets. Dominion Energy disputes these findings, predicting only a 2.5% annual increase in Virginia. The report argues for policy changes, including charging data centers more for energy and halting subsidies for their construction to alleviate the burden on consumers. Recommendations also include implementing minimum take clauses for utility contracts.
