The mother of the 14-year-old accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, called a school counselor Wednesday morning to report an “extreme emergency” involving her son, according to the suspect’s aunt.
According to the Washington Post, Brown has a shared phone plan with the family, which allows her to see a log of her sister’s calls.
The call was made from Marcee Gray’s phone at 9:50 a.m., just 30 minutes before the shooting was reported to police.

The Barrow County School District has not yet commented on the call, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has referred questions to the district attorney’s office.
This revelation adds another layer of complexity to the tragic events that unfolded at Apalachee High School, where two students and two teachers lost their lives.
The suspect, Colt Gray, is facing four counts of murder and is expected to be charged with additional offenses related to the nine people injured in the attack.
