The community of Winder, Georgia, is reeling after four people were fatally shot and nine others were injured by a 14-year-old at Apalachee High School. The FBI says it received several anonymous tips about an online threat to commit a school shooting in 2023. NBC’s Priya Sridhar reports for TODAY.
The 14-year-old charged with murder in the shooting at a high school in Georgia had shown interest in prior mass shootings, particularly the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation. The information came as a result of the searches conducted in the investigation.
The user’s profile name was written in Russian and translated to the last name of a school shooter. The teen’s father told an investigator that neither he nor his son spoke Russian, the report said. The teen said he was not active on Discord at the time the threat was made and had stopped using it because his account had been hacked multiple times “and he was afraid someone would use his information for nefarious purposes,” according to the report.
