The mother of the alleged Georgia school shooter Foal Gray made a panicked phone call just before he opened fire, telling school officials that she had received a call from her son and that she feared the worst.
Marcee Gray received a text from her son saying, “I’m sorry, mom,” according to Colt’s grandfather, Karel Polhamuswho spoke to the New York Post.
Marcee was with Charles when she got the text message, and she frantically called Apalachee High School and told a first responder that this was an “extreme emergency.”
The Washington Post says Marcee told her sister, “I was the one who notified the high school counselor. I told them it was an extreme emergency and that they needed to start searching immediately [Colt] to check him out.”
The Post says a school principal began searching for the boy and showed up in his classroom minutes before he opened fire, but he was missing.
Marcee was three hours away from the school when she received the text and jumped in her car to intercept her son. When she was halfway there, she heard reports of the massacre.
She appeared sad on Saturday as she carried some pillows to her father’s house.
14 year old Colt Gray has been accused of murder and will be tried as an adult. His father has also been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of manslaughter.
The father, Colin, gave his son the AR-15 used in the shooting as Christmas gift …this after the FBI showed up at his door seven months earlier to investigate an ominous online threat about a school shooting that came from Colt’s IP address.

As TMZ reported, a neighbor called Family Services several times and reported that the father had been there abuse and the house was in chaos.
Colt’s grandfather told The Post: “Collie Gray did this to his family and he will languish in hell for it. That’s a fact. He needs the death penalty. He is probably one of the worst narcissists in the world.”
