ATLANTA: Four people were killed in a shooting at a Georgia high school on Wednesday (Sep 4) just weeks after classes began, and a suspect was taken into custody, law enforcement officials said.
The shooting was the first of the new school year in the United States and served as a stark reminder to students, teachers and parents of the threat of gun violence in schools and colleges across the nation.
The shooting left four dead at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, and nine people were taken to hospitals with injuries, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation posted on X.
One suspect was in custody, the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. CNN, citing an unnamed source, reported that the suspect was 14 years old.
“What we see behind us is an evil thing today,” Sheriff Jud Smith said during a brief news conference on school grounds.
