00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: Appleachi High School. Many are questioning how the fourteen year

00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: Appalachi does not have metal detectors, but the school does

00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: not provide lockers to every student. While an AR fifteen

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: will break down into two pieces, they are still too

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 4: large to conceal in a typical school backpack.

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: It is still not known how Colt Gray managed to

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: get the gun into the school. He left his classroom

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: on a bathroom pass to retrieve it. As Crime Onlines

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 5: Brie quickly opened the door, but the fourteen year old responds, no,

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 5: he's got a gun. Gray stands outside the door for

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720

00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 5: Gray walks to the classroom next door, where the door

54

Speaker 3: I think the thing that stands out to me the

59
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: most right now that I haven't really wrapped my head around,

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: is in the prayer with my pastor, which he did

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 3: not even remember. I'm sure you've thought most of these

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: don't end with the shooter alive. In this case, my

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: pastor prayed with me for him to stop in his

64
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: tracks whatever he was doing and lay that gun down.

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you that timing is spot on. You'll

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: never convince me that wasn't my God that day that

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: saved those lives. And the quick response from our law
