At least four people killed after high school shooting in Winder, Georgia

(CNN) The gunman who opened fire Wednesday morning inside Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, is believed to be a 14-year-old boy, a law enforcement source tells CNN.

The source said it is not yet known whether the teen attended that school.

The suspect is alive and in custody, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a post on X.

Four people were killed in the shooting, according to the GBI. Nine others were transported to hospitals with injuries.

Law enforcement sources said earlier approximately 30 people were injured in the shooting. It was unclear how many of those injuries are from gunshot wounds; the information is preliminary and subject to change.

And here comes the thoughts and prayers.

This is the Congressman who reps that district. Mike Collins.

Leigh Ann and I are praying for the victims, their families, and all students at Apalachee High School in Barrow County.

Yeah. Sure you are.

I live in a state where schools are not open to public at all . If you want to pick up your child you call before and when you get to the door its locked 🔒 you push a button that a inercome asnwers you from the front office . You also give out the main contact information who will be picking up their kid. We also have cops guarding the school .

@Fa8393 Sounds like a prison more than a school.

You live in a state that is more willing to let the deranged have their weapons of war (these are NOT LEGITIMATE HUNTING GUNS OR RECREATIONAL GUNS—they have one purpose—TO END ANOTHER’S LIFE).

You should move to another state—your’s has already failed!

@KunsanVeteran Locking a school or arming a teacher is simply saying we absolutely do not care how many kids are killed because we want even more guns sold......................but you are free to compensate for our lack of care by putting locks on your doors.
