A classmate of Georgia school shooter Colt Gray said she had been sitting next to the 14-year-old before his terrifying massacre, saying that at one point that he left the classroom and tried to re-enter with a gun.
Lyela Sayarath, a junior at Apalachee High School, told CNN that after Gray left their Algebra I class Wednesday morning, he later knocked on the locked door to be let back in.
Another student who approached the door “saw that he had a gun, so she backed away,” Sayarath added. Gray then “turned to the classroom that would have been to my right, and he just starts to shoot, and you hear about ten to fifteen rounds back-to-back.”
