Authorities have released the 911 calls made from Apalachee High School on the day of the shooting, Sept. 4. Colt Gray, 14, is accused of pulling out a high-powered rifle from his backpack — a gift from his father, Colin, according to investigators — and opening fire, killing four people and injuring nine others. The Barrow County 911 call center was inundated with phone calls around 10:20 a.m., and many people received an automated message explaining there was a "high call volume." Due to Georgia law, many of the calls will not be released. In a letter to FOX 5, Barrow County Emergency Communications explained that "911 calls that contain the speech or cries of a minor" are not part of Georgia’s open records, as most of the calls were made from inside the school. Apalachee High School teachers Cristina Irimie and Richard Aspirnwall, along with 14-year-old students Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, were killed in the attack. Both Colt and his father, Colin, now face charges connected to the shooting. Colt Gray was charged with four counts of felony murder. Colin Gray was charged with four separate counts – four of involuntary manslaughter, two of second-degree murder, and eight of cruelty to children. Both are being held without bond.
