The Shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, On Dec. 23, 2002: Two Teachers and Two Students are Detected

The shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., on Wednesday killed two teachers and two students, becoming the deadliest episode of school violence in the state’s history. Nine other people were injured.

The bodies of two students were identified by the authorities. The educators killed were identified as Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie, officials said. The authorities were not sure of the spelling of the names.

Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said that those who are deceased are heroes. “Those that are in the hospital recovering right now are heroes in my book.”

Mason Schermerhorn was described by friends of his family as a lighthearted teenager who liked spending time with his family, reading, telling jokes, playing video games and visiting Walt Disney World. He had just started at the school.

Doug Kilburn said, “He really enjoyed life.” He was always positive about everything.

When Mr. Briscoe heard about the shooting at the high school, he called his mother to make sure everything was all right. She told him that Mason was gone.

The gunman — who the authorities identified as a 14-year-old student at the school — will be charged with murder, officials said. Students barricaded themselves in classrooms as they heard gunfire.

David Phenix, a math special education teacher and the school’s golf coach, was injured during the shooting. He was shot in the foot and hip, breaking his hip bone, according to his daughter.

An Investigator Investigates a Facebook Tip on a Thirteen-Year-Old Threat to Shoot Up a Middle School

In May of last year, a tip was forwarded to the F.B.I. that a user on the social media platform had threatened to shoot up a middle school. The 13-year-old lived in Jackson County, Ga.

A report from the Jackson County sheriff’s office, obtained by The New York Times, detailed how investigators looked into but were unable to definitively link those threats to the teen, who is now in custody after a shooting on Wednesday morning at his high school in Winder, Ga. Two of the teachers were accused of killing two students.

The investigators found that the username on the Discord account had been written in Russian. The investigator said that the name of the killer of Sandy Hook Elementary School’s 20 students and six teachers in 2012 was spelled out through translation of the Russian letters.

Colin Gray and his son, Mr. Gray, told investigators that they did not speak Russian and that he had not been the author of the threats. He said that he had previously had a Discord account, but had deleted it, claiming he had been repeatedly hacked and was “afraid someone would use his information for nefarious purposes,” an investigator wrote.
