The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has denied allegations that another student at Apalachee High School was involved in the devastating shooting that caused the deaths of four people on Wednesday.

Rumors on social media speculated that another 14-year-old student, whose name was publicized, was involved in the shooting, but the GBI said on Wednesday evening that those reports are false.

So far, 14-year-old Colt Gray has been identified as the only suspect.
