美国乔治亚州阿帕拉契中学(Apalachee High School)4日发生校园枪击,造成4人中弹身亡,华盛顿邮报揭露14岁枪手格雷(Colt Gray)作案前曾传简讯向母亲玛西(Marcee Gray)道歉,玛西紧急致电校方通报“严重紧急事件”,可是校方一开始将枪手与另一名姓名相似的同学搞混,寻找格雷又没有下文,几分钟后便发生枪击。
华邮取得玛西手足布朗(Annie Brown)提供的简讯及通话纪录指出,枪手格雷在作案前曾传简讯给母亲玛西,但并未提供具体文字内容。对此,纽约邮报独家访问玛西81岁父亲波哈默斯(Charlie Polhamus)证实,简讯内容写道,“妈,我很抱歉”。
玛西也在收到简讯后,于事发前约90分钟,上午9时50分致电校方,通报“严重紧急”事件,并要求校方立即找到格雷进行确认。而根据布朗描述,一名辅导员在电话中向玛西描述,格雷当日上午谈到校园枪击。
大约同一时间,格雷同班同学莎亚拉斯(Lyela Sayarath)描述,一名校方行政人员前往格雷所在的数学教室,疑似将班上另一名与格雷姓名相似的同学搞混。当时两人均不在班上,接著该行政人员将另一名同学的背包带走;没过几分钟,枪击案发生。

这份报导出现在网络上以后,玛西也向华邮证实简讯及通话纪录,但是拒绝透露促使她致电校方警告的细节,并表示已经配合调查人员提供相关资讯。
另外,纽约邮报引述波哈默斯,玛西打完电话便开车赶往距离3小时路程外的阿帕拉契中学。
玛西称这起枪击事件“极度骇人”,且向受害学生及家长表示懊悔,“我非常、非常抱歉,难以想像他们现在经历多么大的悲痛”。

波哈默斯在向纽约邮报的访问中批评格雷的父亲“邪恶”,称他让玛西染上毒瘾,最终毁了这个家,喊话执法机关将格雷父亲判死刑。
纽约邮报报导,玛西过去17年间多次因毒品、家暴、违反交通规则等案件被捕。而格雷父亲柯林(Colin Gray)5日也被捕,遭控4项非自愿过失杀人、 2项二级谋杀、8项虐待儿童罪。格雷作案用的AR-15步枪是柯林去年圣诞节送他的礼物。
