Frustration over transgender 'acceptance' allegedly fueled Georgia shooting: CNN report

CNN reported that the FBI had found evidence linked to the alleged Apalachee High School shooter that could explain his motivation.

The report cited documents claiming that a Discord account was identified last year by the FBI as belonging to Colt Gray. According to CNN's summary of the posts, the account owner said that he was planning an attack on an elementary school and expressed "frustration with the acceptance of transgender people."

Police arrested Colt Gray after he allegedly went on a shooting spree that took the lives of two students and two teachers and injured another nine people on Wednesday.
