Teen to be Charged with Murder in Georgia School Shooting

The 14-year-old murder suspect in Wednesday’s Apalachee High School shooting in Winder, Georgia will be charged with murder, according to unidentified authorities quoted by Fox News.

The alleged killer has been identified as a student at the school. He allegedly fatally shot two students and two adults at the school. No motive has been established, but the investigation has just started. Liberty Park Press has chosen not to identify the suspect by name at this time.

According to ABC News, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has announced the suspect will be tried as an adult. It was not clear whether any of the victims were targeted. Winder is about 45 minutes outside of Atlanta. Barrow County schools will be closed through the rest of this week.

Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith described the attack as “pure evil.” His agency responded to the shooting, and the suspect surrendered to officers after they arrived.

Almost immediately, politicians began exploiting the tragedy to push their gun control agenda. President Joe Biden issued a statement calling for more gun control, essentially from the same agenda he has promoted since the 2020 campaign.

“After decades of inaction, Republicans in Congress must finally say ‘enough is enough’ and work with Democrats to pass common-sense gun safety legislation,” Biden said in a statement. “We must ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines once again, require safe storage of firearms, enact universal background checks, and end immunity for gun manufacturers. These measures will not bring those who were tragically killed today back, but it will help prevent more tragic gun violence from ripping more families apart.”

Because of the suspect’s age, it is already clear background checks would have no connection to this crime. It’s not clear what sort of firearm he used, so banning a class of rifles did not make sense to the gun rights community, and it is clear someone that young could not possibly purchase a firearm legally, so holding the gun industry somehow responsible would be a stretch.

U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, an anti-gun Democrat from Georgia, went on social media to declare, “Until we center the people and start a serious, bipartisan conversation in Washington & state capitols across the country to advance popular, commonsense gun safety reforms, the sad truth is it’s only a matter of time before this kind of tragedy comes knocking on your door.”

He offered no definition of “commonsense gun safety reforms.”
