The suspect behind the Apalachee High School shooting in Winder, Georgia, that left four dead and nine injured, has been identified as 14-year-old Colt Gray.

A statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation also confirmed that the four people killed in the shooting have been identified as two students and two teachers. They are Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and teachers Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53.

“At this time, there is no evidence to suggest there were additional shooters. Investigators are actively pursuing all leads regarding possible accomplices to the shooter,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.

“There is no evidence that a list of schools is being targeted, but a large amount of evidence is being recovered and evaluated. Investigators are diligently following up on leads to determine if there are any active threats,” he added.

Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said at a news briefing Wednesday that Gray used a shotgun to kill the victims in the hallway outside his algebra class.
