A 14-year-old student carried out a fatal shooting at a high school in Georgia, killing four individuals. The incident, described as a rampage, shocked the community. Law enforcement responded swiftly, and investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the attack.

WINDER, Ga. (AP) — A 14-year-old student opened fire at Apalachee High School in Georgia on Wednesday, killing four people, authorities reported. The shooting caused widespread panic as students sought shelter in their classrooms and were later moved to the football stadium, while police swarmed the campus and frantic parents rushed to check on their children.

The victims included two students, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, as well as two teachers, Richard Aspenwall and Christina Irimie. The information was provided by Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey during a press conference later that evening.

Nine others—eight students and one teacher—were injured and taken to local hospitals but are expected to survive, according to Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith. Junior Layla Ferrell, who was in health class at the time, recalled seeing the "hard lockdown" alert on the screen as she and her classmates used desks and chairs to barricade the door.

Sophomore Kaylee Abner, in her geometry class, said she heard the gunshots and took cover behind the teacher’s desk. Her teacher then tried to flip the desk to block the door. Abner said a classmate next to her began praying, and she held his hand while they waited for the police to arrive.
