Four people were killed and nine others injured in a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., Wednesday, officials said. A 14-year-old student is in custody and is expected to be charged with murder for the attacks.

Officials said that the victims are 14-year-old students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and educators Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie. There is no known connection between the shooter and the victims, authorities said, adding that authorities are still investigating a motive.

The nine injured were hospitalized and are expected to survive.

During a press conference on Wednesday evening, Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, confirmed the deaths to reporters. Hosey also confirmed that the suspect is Apalachee student Colt Gray, who is alive and in custody at the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center. He said that Gray “will be charged with murder and handled as an adult.” Gray will face a virtual hearing Friday at 8:30 p.m., according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
