The attacker was identified as Grey the Cat, he was arrested and charged with murder. According to the authorities, the police arrived at the school in the city of Winder a few minutes after the shooting began, and the student who opened fire immediately surrendered to law enforcement.
As CNN notes, last year the student was already questioned by the police in connection with anonymous reports that Gray had threatened to shoot at the school on the Internet. During that interrogation, the student denied his guilt.
Security measures have been strengthened in Winder. The head of GBI, Chris Hussey, said there was no evidence that Gray had an accomplice. At the same time, Jose said, police are checking to see if there are any other threats in nearby schools.
