The 14-year-old boy suspected of killing two teachers and two students in a school shooting in the US state of Georgia had previously been interviewed by the FBI.

The attack on Wednesday left four dead at Apalachee High School in Winder and nine people were taken to hospital with injuries, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation posted on X.

Authorities named the suspect as Colt Gray, a student who the FBI interviewed last year after receiving several anonymous tips that threats had been posted on an online game site warning of a school shooting at “an unidentified location and time”.

The threats, which included photographs of guns, prompted authorities to visit Gray’s house, where his father told investigators that he owned hunting guns, but that his son did not have unsupervised access to the weapons. The suspect denied making any threats.
