🇺🇸 A 14-year-old and his father appeared in court following Georgia's deadliest school shooting
🇺🇸 A 14-year-old and his father appeared in court following Georgia's deadliest school shooting, which left four dead at Apalachee High School. The teen faces felony murder charges, while his father is accused of allowing access to the AR-15 used in the attack. Questions arose about whether school officials were informed of a previous investigation into the teen's online threats. The case adds to a growing trend of prosecuting parents in high-profile school shootings, as seen in a recent Michigan case. The community grapples with the tragedy's aftermath, including increased security measures and social media threats in nearby districts.

They bought him the gun AFTER he threatened to shoot up another school (cops couldn't prove it was him)

So six months AFTER the FBI investigated someone at his email for making online threats to shoot up a school, his father bought him an AR-style weapon as a present? (According to this early reporting, grain of salt, etc, but CNN tends to be very careful)

The shooting in Georgia was very familiar. That’s in part because so many kids are killed by guns in the US: more were killed in Georgia alone in 2021 than were killed by guns in all of Western Europe. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Georgia students dragged their shot teacher back into their classroom and barricaded the door. This will scar them forever. Not all gun casualties involve blood.
