School resource officer engaged with shooter and took him into custody, sheriff says

The resource officer at Apalachee High School engaged with the shooter and took him into custody, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith told reporters.

“Obviously the shooter was armed and our school resource officer engaged him and the shooter quickly realized that if he did not give up, that it would end with an OIS — an Officer Involved Shooting. He gave up, got on the ground and the deputy took him into custody,” Smith said.

Edit 1

MSNBC just said he's 14 and he was a student at the school.

Edit 2

A white cop talking to the media said "Hate will not prevail in our community." I don't know the context or who he was. But I wonder if the shooter was a minority.

Doing an image search for "Colt Gray" gives results for guns and nothing else (for now). Nominative determinism at work amerikkka-clap

It's an awesome name, and shame it was given to a school shooter.

Nominative determinism

I entirely missed "gun" because all that came to mind was "horse". Haha. It's right there. But I would have gotten it if his name was Colt Fortifaiv.

will be handled as an adult

again while the whole "tried as an adult" thing. Used so often you wonder what actually doesn't get someone tried as an adult.

As morally and ethically vile as it is - it's also disgusting, raw political opportunism to make decision and rush out a statement to the media hours after the shooting.
