Authorities in the US state of Georgia have released an audio recording of the suspected Georgia high school shooter’s 2023 visit to his home after an anonymous report to the FBI surfaced about online threats that said he “possibly threatened to shoot up a middle school” in a group chat on the messaging app Discord.

Jackson County, GeorgiaSheriff’s officials personally spoke with the boy who is now charged with joint murder of four people at Apalachee High School in Winder on Wednesday.

Sheriff’s officials described their interactions in a detailed investigative report dated May 21, 2023, when suspect Colt Gray was 13 years old, after he received a tip from the FBI about a threat on the messaging app Discord, popular with some video gamers, to carry out a robbery at a middle school.

As police begin questioning Colin Gray, the father reveals more about Gray’s personal life and the accusation. He says this visit is rubbish and a terrorist threat.

“He’s going through a lot… it’s very difficult for him to go to school without being teased,” Colin said.

Colin tells the officer that he and Colt’s mother got divorced and that their house was evicted.

“He had problems with separation at first. I took him to school. He goes to Jefferson Middle School. He’s doing really well,” Colin explained.

The officer acknowledges the seriousness of the visit and Colin agrees, saying that Colt “knows how serious this is, trust me.”

Colin claims he has been to the school several times, blames other children for touching his son, and says Colt wants to move away from the school district.

Colin then claims that he is constantly teased and talks about the importance of gun safety.

“Let me ask you this: Do you have weapons in the house?” the officer asks.

“I do,” says Colin.

“Are they accessible?” the officer then asks.

“They are… I mean, they’re not loaded, but they’re… we do a lot of shooting, we do a lot of deer hunting. He shot his first deer this year,” Colin says. “I’m pretty much in shock… I’m pissed, to be honest.”

“I’m a little surprised by the whole thing, but I can tell you one thing: I take this very seriously and so does he,” says Colin.

“I don’t know if he’s going to say that shit. And I’m going to be mad as hell if he does, and then all the guns will disappear and he won’t have access to them anymore,” Colin continues. “You know, I’m trying to be honest. I’m trying to teach him about firearms and safety and how to do all that and instill an interest in the outdoors.”

“Get him away from the video game,” the officer replies.

“Yeah. Exactly. Right. That’s the best. The truth is, the picture on my phone is him with blood on his cheeks when he kills his first deer. It’s just the greatest day ever,” says Colin. “So he knows how serious guns are and what they can do and how to use them and not to use them.”

“So it’s a bit of a shock. So whatever you say to him, make it clear to him that it’s not a joke when someone comes from whatever or wherever. No, it’s not a joke,” Colin continued.

“We wouldn’t be here,” the officer said.

“No, I know, I know, and I’m telling you, we’re talking about it quite a bit right now. All the school shootings, things like that that are happening. Yeah, I hear you’re getting bullied at school. He is. He’s getting bullied at school. And. Is everything OK? That’s why I keep going there. No. You know, because you just never, you never really know. And I don’t want anything to happen to him, so. Yeah. Yeah,” Colin finished.

The officer then wants to speak to Colt and Colin agrees to take him with him.

Colt comes into the room and the cop tells him there will be a report. The cop seems to take Colt at his word and they even laugh about people lying to the police.

The officer and Colt talked about school, graduating, and transitioning to high school.
