The 14-year-old boy, who was charged for the murder of two students and two teachers, had writings in his bedroom that included references to the 2018 massacre that left 17 dead in Florida, law enforcement officials told CNN .

It remains unclear what aspects of the shooting Gray was allegedly reading or writing about, but the teen faces a similar fate as Parkland gunman Nikolas Cruz, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2022.
Officials have yet to name a motive behind the Apalachee school shooting, but Gray’s family said he had been struggling with his mental health and trouble at home.
His aunt, Annie Brown, told the Washington Post on Thursday that the boy had been “begging for help from everybody around him.”
Gray’s alleged rampage broke out on Wednesday when police said he killed two 14-year-old students, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, as well as two teachers, Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53.
