Apalachee High School closed after student brings gun to school months after mass shooting

BARROW COUNTY, Ga. — Classes are cancelled Thursday at Apalachee High School after a student was arrested for bringing a gun into school on Wednesday, according to police.

A 14-year-old student was arrested for bringing a gun to school just months after a mass shooting claimed the lives of two teachers and two students.

An Apalachee High School resource officer took the student into custody around 2 p.m., according to officials. The identity of the student was not released.

The student faces two counts of possession of a weapon on school grounds charges.

He was taken into custody without incident and police say he did not threaten other students.

Four people were killed and nine others were sent to the hospital after a shooting at Apalachee High School in September. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation identified the shooter as 14-year-old Colt Gray.

This incident remains under investigation.
