BARROW COUNTY, Ga. – Residents of Winder are already coming together to provide support after a mass shooting at Apalachee High School on Wednesday morning that left 4 dead and 9 injured.
Several locals, including Michael Moore, took it upon themselves to help, handing out water to families and first responders. “I live really close by and wasn’t called into work, so I wanted to help in any way I could,” Moore said.
Parents and students gathered on the school’s football field after the shooting. Some families were there for hours, sitting in the sun as they waited for information or to be reunited with their children. Several parents, arriving later, were seen running toward the middle and elementary schools in a frantic search for their children.
“People are parking their cars and running over here,” one witness said.
