The mother of suspected Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray told her family she called her son’s school to alert them of an “extreme emergency” the morning he allegedly killed four people.
Marcee Gray, the mother of the alleged shooter, was seen in text messages shared by The Washington Post to her family: ‘I told them it was an extreme emergency and that they had to start looking immediately [my son] to check on him.’
According to the outlet, a call log from the family’s shared phone plan shows that Gray made a 10-minute phone call to the school at 9:50 a.m. on Wednesday, about a half hour before Colt allegedly opened fire.
A school counselor told Marcee that her son had talked about the school shooting that morning, Gray’s sister Annie Brown told The Post.

Shortly after the shooting began, reports emerged that Apalachee High School had been warned that a tragedy could occur.
Marcee wrote in her messages to her family, “I was the one who notified the high school counselor.”
Her sister Annie Brown said Marcee had heard from a counselor that her son had been exhibiting disturbing behavior that morning and was making threatening comments about school shootings.
