Were drugs involved in either of these two stories. With today's far-left media, we might never find out. They seem to keep drug-use out of the news for some reason.
Student Colt Gray, 14, identified as suspect in Georgia
school shooting that left 2 students and
2 teachers dead
A crazed 14-year-old gunman rampaged through a suburban Georgia high school on Wednesday morning, committing a horrifying mass shooting at the start of the school year that left two students and two teachers dead.
Nine other people at Apalachee High School in Winder – about an hour outside of Atlanta — were hospitalized with gunshot wounds, including a math teacher who was left with a shattered hip. At least two victims were airlifted to a hospital.
One terrified survivor described how the gunman stopped and pounded on his barricaded classroom door and demanded “open up!” before moving on.
Other students texted their parents and begged for help, telling them they loved them and that they were scared for their lives.
The suspected gunman — identified as Colt Gray, a student at the school – surrendered immediately after a school resource officer rushed in and confronted him — just minutes after the first shots were fired around 10:20 a.m., Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey said.
Gray was unharmed, and will be charged with murder as an adult, Horsey added.
“My heart hurts for these kids, my heart hurts for our community, but I want to make it very clear that hate will not prevail in this county,” Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said.
“I want that to be very clear and known.” he added. “Love will prevail over what happened today.”
Yeah, I don't think so. Do you have a strategy for that?
Police have been interviewing Gray, and are also in touch with his family.
His motivations for the attack remain unclear, as it seemed he had no prior connection to the victims.
“None that I’m aware of,” Barrow County Sheriff Smith responded when asked.
The shooting left students terrified and ducking for cover in locked-down classes, and one sending off desperate messages to his parents.
“School shooting RN … I’m scared … I’m not joking,” Apalachee senior Ethan Clark texted his mother, Erin Clark at 10:23 a.m., according to a post on her Facebook.
“I love you.” the boy told his as his mother.

10-year-old confesses to killing former
Louisiana mayor and his daughter
Joe Cornelius Sr., 82, and Keisha Miles, 31, were found dead on Sunday morning in Minden, a small city in northern Louisiana near Shreveport. Cornelius was a longtime councilman of Minden and served as the city’s mayor for several months in 2013 after the sitting mayor died while in office.
The 10-year-old boy that allegedly confessed to the killings is related to Cornelius, according to Police Chief Jared McIver. The unnamed boy is being held on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder.
“Our city is in shock,” McIver told NBC News. “How does a 10-year-old commit something so malicious?”
Two avenues to explore Chief, drugs and/or child sexual abuse. Eliminate both of them and you really have a quandary.
Police found the bodies of Cornelius and Miles after receiving a 911 call around 6:30 a.m. that shots had been fired. The victims were found inside a house on Austin Street with multiple gunshot wounds, local broadcaster KTBS reported. Two handguns were used and their magazines had been completely emptied, McIver told NBC.
A six-year-old child was also home at the time of the shooting, but was uninjured.
Investigators are still trying to make sense of the crime and understand the motive for the shooting. The 10-year-old allegedly provided a different account of what happened when initially questioned by police, but later confessed to the shooting on Sunday afternoon.
“We’ve got a confession. But in these cases… it’s very delicate, when you’re dealing with a child of this age,” McIver told KTBS. “We’ve still got a lot of unanswered questions.”
The boy’s grandmother is his legal guardian and has been present for law enforcement questioning, as is required by law. McIver described the boy as “scared” but not remorseful.
Neighbours told KSLA-TV that they heard Cornelius and the boy arguing and later heard multiple gunshots ring out.
“I think that’s what happened. He was arguing with him; I heard them hollering and stuff,” one neighbour said, adding that Cornelius had guns in the house because he used to work for law enforcement. Cornelius retired as a deputy marshal of the Minden Ward Marshal’s Office in December 2022.
Cornelius was known as a pillar in his community, according to local news outlets. For decades, he worked with Minden’s youth through an organization called Concerned Citizens of Minden. He was known as the “ice cream man” by children in the community.
Hmmmmm.
“This breaks my heart. He was so kind. I remember him coming through my neighbourhood about seven years ago; the boys got ice cream, but I had limited money. They wanted stuff I couldn’t afford at the time. He said just pay what you can, but they can get anything they want,” said Patti Hadland Porter to local broadcaster KTAL.
In a statement Sunday, Minden Mayor Nick Cox paid tribute to Cornelius and asked residents to keep his family in their thoughts and prayers.
“Joe Cornelius’s years of service to Minden were marked by his commitment and dedication to the betterment of our community. On a personal note, I am grateful for his friendship and the many ways he supported me and others in our city,” Cox wrote.
Cornelius’ daughter Miles had three children. One of her sons, 17-year-old Uriah Miles, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her funeral.
“My mom and grandpa have left me on the earth with my 2 siblings,” Uriah writes. “I have to (bury) my mom on my own with the help of some family.”
The campaign has raised just over US$2,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.
