14-Year-Old Arrested With Gun at Georgia High School Months After Deadly Shooting

The arrest at Apalachee High School has prompted school closures and renewed discussions on security measures following last year's mass shooting.

A 14-year-old student was arrested Wednesday at Apalachee High School in Georgia for bringing a gun onto campus, according to the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office.
The student, who was cooperative during the arrest, faces charges including theft, minor in possession of a firearm, and possession of a weapon on school grounds.
This incident comes just months after a mass shooting at the same school in September, where two teachers and two students were killed, and nine others were injured.
The September shooting suspect, Colt Gray, and his father, Colin Gray, are facing multiple charges, including murder and involuntary manslaughter, with both pleading not guilty.
Following the latest arrest, classes were canceled on Thursday, and school officials are holding meetings to discuss immediate safety enhancements, including potential new security measures.
