Accused Georgia school shooter apologized to his mom before allegedly killing four — prompting her frantic calls to the school
SUMMARY
Colt Gray, the 14-year-old accused of a deadly school shooting in Georgia, reportedly sent a chilling apology text to his mother before allegedly killing four people. In an interview, his grandfather, Charles Polhamus, revealed that Colt’s mother, Marcee Gray, received the message, "I'm sorry, mom," moments before the tragedy unfolded. She frantically called Apalachee High School, warning of an "extreme emergency," but officials were unable to prevent the attack. Polhamus described the broken family environment, blaming Colt's father, Colin, for creating a toxic home life filled with abuse and neglect. He claims that Colin, who gifted his son the AR-15 rifle used in the shooting, was verbally abusive and struggled with drug addiction, which heavily impacted Colt's mental state. While Polhamus expressed deep sorrow for the victims, he also stated that Colt had been driven to violence by his father’s actions. Both Colt and Colin face murder charges, with Colt being tried as an adult.
