美国乔治亚州阿帕拉契中学（Apalachee High School）4日发生校园枪击，造成4人中弹身亡，华盛顿邮报揭露14岁枪手格雷（Colt Gray）作案前曾传简讯向母亲玛西（Marcee Gray）道歉，玛西紧急致电校方通报“严重紧急事件”，可是校方一开始将枪手与另一名姓名相似的同学搞混，寻找格雷又没有下文，几分钟后便发生枪击。
华邮取得玛西手足布朗（Annie Brown）提供的简讯及通话纪录指出，枪手格雷在作案前曾传简讯给母亲玛西，但并未提供具体文字内容。对此，纽约邮报独家访问玛西81岁父亲波哈默斯（Charlie Polhamus）证实，简讯内容写道，“妈，我很抱歉”。
玛西也在收到简讯后，于事发前约90分钟，上午9时50分致电校方，通报“严重紧急”事件，并要求校方立即找到格雷进行确认。而根据布朗描述，一名辅导员在电话中向玛西描述，格雷当日上午谈到校园枪击。
大约同一时间，格雷同班同学莎亚拉斯（Lyela Sayarath）描述，一名校方行政人员前往格雷所在的数学教室，疑似将班上另一名与格雷姓名相似的同学搞混。当时两人均不在班上，接著该行政人员将另一名同学的背包带走；没过几分钟，枪击案发生。

这份报导出现在网络上以后，玛西也向华邮证实简讯及通话纪录，但是拒绝透露促使她致电校方警告的细节，并表示已经配合调查人员提供相关资讯。
另外，纽约邮报引述波哈默斯，玛西打完电话便开车赶往距离3小时路程外的阿帕拉契中学。
玛西称这起枪击事件“极度骇人”，且向受害学生及家长表示懊悔，“我非常、非常抱歉，难以想像他们现在经历多么大的悲痛”。

波哈默斯在向纽约邮报的访问中批评格雷的父亲“邪恶”，称他让玛西染上毒瘾，最终毁了这个家，喊话执法机关将格雷父亲判死刑。
纽约邮报报导，玛西过去17年间多次因毒品、家暴、违反交通规则等案件被捕。而格雷父亲柯林（Colin Gray）5日也被捕，遭控4项非自愿过失杀人、 2项二级谋杀、8项虐待儿童罪。格雷作案用的AR-15步枪是柯林去年圣诞节送他的礼物。
