Of course they were.

Schools are closed for the rest of the week in Barrow County, Georgia as the community deals with a major tragedy. Four people including two students, and two teachers are dead; nine others are injured after 14-year-old gunman Colt Gray opened fire at Apalachee High School in northern Georgia.

More than a year ago, tips about online posts threatening a school shooting led Georgia police to interview a 13-year-old boy, but investigators didn’t have enough evidence for an arrest. Colt Gray has been charged as an adult in the deaths of Apalachee High School students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and instructors Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53. . .

Without additional context, this doesn't seem too strange. They were alerted to threats over a year ago, and the local sheriff's office conducted a investigation, but was unable to establish probable cause to take further action, at least not enough to confiscate guns owned by the father.. maybe there was case for terroristic threats or some similar charge.

This senario is the excuse for red flag laws. I don't agree that these are the answer to the issue. The problem isn't that the child had access to guns, but that he was able to take advantage of a place with security vulnerabilities.

I wonder if educational facilities should be subject to random security audits..

With all of that said, it would not suprise me if the FBI had a deeper connection with the subject.
