ATLANTA (AP) — The mother of a student in class with the boy accused of killing four people in a Georgia high school shooting says a warning to school officials shows the shooting could have been prevented. Rabecca Sayarath says administrators at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, didn’t do enough to protect students. She said Sunday that “the school failed them.” Sayarath’s daughter says administrators appeared to be looking for Colt Gray, the 14-year-old charged with four counts of murder, before the gunfire began. Others are declining to blame school or law enforcement. Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia said Sunday that he won’t “referee or second-guess” the response.
