Four Dead In Georgia High Schoo Shooting

Did anybody see the footage of the police interview with the father & the son 1 year ago, where they followed up a tip that the boy was going to shoot up his school... ? I just saw it on Court TV

The father seemed very plausible, said he was teaching his son how to responsibly use guns, and the boy had access to the guns in the house but they were unloaded. The boy is tiny... btw..

The boy denied making any threats .. and the police went away

2 months later the father bought him the gun he used in the killings !!

Before anyone says anything like-well they can't arrest or detain someone for something they haven't done-Ha, take a look around the world. And yes you can. If there is reasonable cause for detainment and investigation, law enforcement can detain you without arrest for an allowable time under the law.

In the U.S. "Reasonable cause" is synonymous with "Probable cause". That is the standard for arrest. Brief Investigative field detention only requires "Reasonable suspicion" that criminal activity is / may be "afoot", Terry v. Ohio, 1968. I saw the video Holly was talking about. Since they were in the house and exited, which they were not required to do, it was not a detention.

So yes. You are correct that a detainment does not require an actual finding of a violation of law, but can not be based on a mere hunch either.
 

Ironic he was named Colt, as in weapon.
I'm serious about the name. The father claims Colt was being bullied. What if the bullying took form as neighing or whinnying when he passed by? Parents really must think carefully about names.
 
Anyone post this?
I hadn't seen it yet, so thank you for posting it. My gut feeling... while papa was telling the "backstory" the kid was "cleaning up" some things that could have been damning if the officers had insisted on coming in. Dad was inside for a while in the beginning so most likely alerted the kid... they ask to talk to the kid... dad stalls.
 
So, it sounds like the mother tried to head things off by calling the school earlier that day with a warning, and apparently nothing was done. So what? She tried to stop the kid from using the rifle once she saw it was inevitable?

What in God's name were these parents doing, giving a highly disturbed, probably mentally ill teenager an assault rifle? I don't care how many calls she made to "warn" the school. The parents belong in jail, along with the kid. They've got to be either the stupidest or most evil people on earth.
 
Mother said when she warned the school she talked to a counselor the counselor mentioned he was heard mentioning school shootings and supposedly staff tried track him down to talk to him but stopped the wrong individual.

From a methhead and not verified but her accounts seem to be panning out.

Georgia school got even earlier warning about Colt Gray before deadly shooting, mom says

If this is true his photo and name should've immediately turned over to police and school security and/or staff. People should've been sent to monitor all possible entrances because it's rumored a friend let him back in a locked door
 
The father of suspected school shooter Colt Gray enlisted his retired police lieutenant sister to talk to the teenager after they were probed by the FBI, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Gray, 14, is accused of killing two teachers and two students at Apalachee High School in Winder, outside Atlanta, on Wednesday.

His father, Colin Gray, 54, has been charged in relation to the killings after admitting to authorities that he bought the weapon used in the attack for his son.

Interview transcripts reveal that his sister is a former Henderson, Nevada police lieutenant, who Colin asked to speak to the troubled teen after authorities probed an FBI tip.
