CNN reveals that Colt Gray, the Georgia school shooter, claimed he was going to commit a mass shooting and was willing to wait for 2-3 years before he’d do it.
He claimed he ideally wanted to target an elementary school and even referenced the Sandy Hook school shooter who massacred elementary school children.
Gray even suggested that by committing a school shooting he’d be contributing something to the ‘culture’, and then he could die happy or something.
Here’s the report:
A Discord account that the FBI had linked to school shooting suspect Colt Gray last year referenced plans for a future mass shooting and shared screenshots of firearms, according to documents obtained by CNN.
“im committing a mass shooting and im waiting a good 2-3 years,” stated the Discord account user, according to screenshots included in an FBI incident report from May 2023 obtained by CNN. “I cant kill myself yet, cause I’m not contributing anything to culture I need to go out knowing I did.”
The account referenced Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, and in separate posts shared a desire to target an elementary school and expressed frustration with the acceptance of transgender people.
Above a photograph of two firearms, the account posted, “I’m ready.”
The FBI tip was shared with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, which closed the investigation after finding that “the user behind the Discord account that made the threat cannot be substantiated.”
A Discord spokesperson told CNN on Wednesday that the platform removed an account “believed to be associated with” Gray in May 2023 for violating Discord’s policy against extremism.
The dude is an absolute psychopath. It was also reported that he was bullied by his peers who often called him gay.
What I want to know is why the FBI couldn’t nail down the connection between Gray and his Discord account with any level of certainty so they could actually do something about this before it happened. They tied the account to him, but couldn’t prove that he made the posts? I don’t know much about Discord, but it’s frustrating because people are told to report this kind of behavior and then they do. But it still ends up happening because nothing gets done about it.
