Students who survived the Georgia school shooting have revealed their teachers hid them in closets and claim the school did not take the threat seriously before hell broke loose. Colt Gray, 14, opened fire atĀ Apalachee High School on Wednesday, hitting at least 13 people and leaving four dead in what officially became the deadliest incident of its kind in Georgia's history. But the terrifying barrage of gunfire led to some students to hide in school cupboards as they fled to safety, as family and relatives on the outside were forced to wait impatiently for updates. One Apalachee freshman, Jayden Finch, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that one of his friends had been killed in the shooting as his teacher ushered him and his classmates into a closet. He also recalled seeing a body when his class was moved out to the football field.
