I am uh Chris Hoy, Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and we wanted to come back uh this afternoon and present you with *** little more of *** timeline of the events that have taken place here today. And, and what we know up to this point with the investigation at approximately 10:20 a.m. This morning, the Barre County Sheriff's office uh received alerts about reports of an active shooter and radio traffic from school resource officers concerning the same concern or having the same concern within minutes law enforcement was on scene as well as two school resource officers assigned here to the school who immediately encountered the subject within just minutes of this report going out. Once they encountered the subject, the subject immediately surrendered to these officers and he was taken into custody. Additionally, what I want you to know as of now, there are four individuals who are deceased from this incident, nine that have been taken to local hospitals with various injuries. Uh of those that would have are deceased, two were students and two were teachers here at the at the school. The priority right now for us within this investigation is to gather all the facts to make sure that we're accurate with it because this is *** murder investigation. As the sheriff mentioned earlier this morning, the shooter is in custody. His name is Colt. That's Colt Gray. He is *** 14 year old student here at the school Gray. He is *** 14 year old student here at the high school. Again, he has been taken into custody. Uh He is, he will be charged with murder and he will be tried as an adult and uh handled as an adult. We're coordinating these charges and obviously this investigation with district attorney, Brad Smith, who is the district attorney for the Piedmont Judicial cir uh circuit here. Since early this morning, we talked with and since the incident occurred, numerous interviews have been taking place through our investigation with students, faculty uh as well as any other witnesses that we could identify law enforcement had *** very, very swift response to this incident. Once the the incident was, was determined that there was *** concern here. Those resources, whether it was in that response or throughout this investigation to assist came obviously from the sheriff's office here from uh other local law enforcement agencies, state law enforcement agencies and the uh federal law enforcement agencies as well. Uh to include not to be left out multiple ems personnel, multiple fire personnel, uh and agencies, those agencies responded here as well today. And I am extremely grateful as I know the sheriff is for that quick response and the partnerships of working here together, uh, with what all is going on. Currently. From the investigative perspective, we have crime scene agents and, and other special agents from the GB I from close to *** dozen of our different, uh, work units from across the state, uh, that have responded here today to work on this investigation. Again, collecting evidence, conducting interviews and so forth. I do wanna pass this along uh that if anyone has any information uh that wants to be passed on concerning this investigation, that they can do that anonymous anonymously at our tip line at 1 805 97 tips or 1 805 978477.

Uh Let me close out before I turn this over to the sheriff and, and let you just remind you that this is still *** very active investigation. There is still *** lot that is very fluid.
