Another nine victims were taken to hospitals with injuries, but are all expected to survive, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey.
The suspect, a 14-year-old student, is in custody and will be tried as an adult, the GBI said.
Hosey identified the four victims Wednesday evening, whose ages ranged from 14 to 53 years old. Here is what we know about the four victims killed:

"As our community, school, and football program begins the mourning process we are so grateful for the outpouring of support," the football team said in a post on X. "To our beloved defensive coordinator Ricky Aspinwall, we will carry you heavy in our hearts. We love you Coach A!!!"
