A Facebook post claiming to show the Georgia school shooting suspect as a 14-year-old named Colt Gray is false. The photo used in the post actually dates back at least eight years and has been used in active shooter training materials by the Indiana State Police. The suspect in the actual shooting, which resulted in the deaths of four people, has been identified as Colt Gray, a student at the school. The photo was also included in a training manual by Reflex Protect, a company that sells safety products and training. Various fact-checking sources, including USA TODAY and Lead Stories, have debunked the claim. Users who shared the false claim on social media later acknowledged that the photo was unrelated to the Georgia shooting. It is important to verify information before sharing it on social media platforms to prevent the spread of misinformation.
