SUMMARY: Ariel Onot from Fox 5 news reports on the tragic school shooting at Appalache High School. The Washington Post revealed that the accused shooter’s mother warned school staff just minutes before the incident, urging them to find her son after he discussed a potential shooting. A school counselor spoke with her about half an hour prior, but confusion arose due to another student with a similar name. As a result, the school official mistakenly left with the wrong backpack. Neither the suspect nor the other student was present when the shooting occurred. Fox 5 Atlanta is working to confirm these details.

An exclusive report from the Washington Post says that the mother of Colt Gray, accused of a mass shooting at Apalachee High School, called the school the morning of the shooting.
