Annie Polhamus Brown, aunt of Colt Gray, who is accused of shooting at Apalachee High School, shared her thoughts just hours after the violence occurred in Winder. These posts have since been deleted but revealed new and unsettling information about Gray. <\/p>\n<p>In one post, Brown stated, \u201cThey are charging my 14-year-old nephew as an adult for murder,\u201d and provocatively asked if people were ready to see &#8220;Polhamus blood in full throttle.&#8221; In another message, she expressed condolences for the victims and their families while alluding to issues that may have influenced Gray&#8217;s actions. She declared her commitment to support him: \u201cI WILL NOT leave my nephew standing alone,\u201d adding that hurt individuals often inflict pain on others.<\/p>\n<p>Brown urged critics to reconsider their words regarding a child who faced significant challenges daily. Although her posts have been removed, screenshots are circulating online.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Brown told The Washington Post that her nephew had mental health struggles and had been seeking help before the shooting took place. Reports indicate troubling findings about Gray\u2019s interests; police discovered evidence of his fascination with school shootings\u2014particularly the Parkland massacre\u2014and noted he was previously flagged by the FBI due to a threat made online related to another school shooting earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Among those killed were Mason Schermerhorn, a 14-year-old special needs student with autism; Christian Angulo; and teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2337460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Appalachee-High-Shool.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40235,32327,40236],"class_list":["post-2337459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-apalachee-school-shooting","tag-breaking-news","tag-family-response"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Appalachee-High-Shool.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2337459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
