The suspect, who previously came under investigation for online threats related to a school shooting last year, was interviewed by law enforcement at that time but denied involvement. Despite his father's assurance that the suspect did not have unsupervised access to firearms, authorities lacked sufficient grounds for arrest, though they were advised to monitor the situation. The suspect, armed with an "AR platform-style weapon," surrendered to a sheriff's deputy after the officer engaged him, preventing further escalation. The tragic shooting resulted in the deaths of students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie. Nine others, including eight teachers and one student, were injured. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is exploring any connection between the previous threats and Wednesday's shooting. The suspect is expected to face murder charges and will be tried as an adult.  [Read More Here]( South Carolina basketball star Ashlyn Watkins is charged with assault and kidnapping  Ashlyn Watkins, a forward for the South Carolina women's basketball team and a national championship winner, was arrested on Saturday on charges of assault and battery and kidnapping.
