Photograph: Amanda Kathleen Greene/The New York TimesFederal investigators said Wednesday that the suspect in the shooting at a Georgia high school had been interviewed more than a year ago by local law enforcement officials in connection to threats made online about a school shooting.
The FBI said that the Jackson County authorities alerted local schools “for continued monitoring of the subject”. But it was unclear whether officials at Apalachee High School, where the shooting took place and the suspect was a student this year, had been among those informed; the school is in Winder, Georgia, in neighbouring Barrow County.
Mangum cautioned residents to be careful of posts containing misinformation circulating online. “My phone is blowing up with messages from people about social media postings about other possible incidents,” she said in a note on Facebook. “To my knowledge, there is not a list indicating any of this.”
Shots were fired on Wednesday morning, and officers swarmed the campus of Apalachee High School as parents raced to find out if their children were safe at the school in Winder, Georgia.
