FOR HELPING US, ONCE AGAIN. >>> NOW TO THE VICTIMS OF THE SCHOOL SHOOTING IN WINDER, GEORGIA, AUTHORITIES HAVE IDENTIFIED THE FOUR WHO WERE KILLED WEDNESDAY AT APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL, NINE OTHERS, EIGHT STUDENTS AND ONE TEACHER, WERE HOSPITALIZED WITH GUNSHOT WOUNDS. THE SUSPECTED 14-YEAR-OLD GUNMAN IS A STUDENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. HE'S IN CUSTODY AND POLICE SAY HE USED AN AR-STYLE RIFLE, THE MOST COMMONLY USED WEAPON IN MASS SHOOTINGS. THE COMMUNITY IS GRIEVING. ONE STUDENT AT SCHOOL AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING DESCRIBES HER EXPERIENCE WHILE MOURNING THE LOSS OF HER CLASSMATE. >> WE ALL WENT TO THE CORNER OF THE ROOM AND, YEAH, AND SOMEONE DID RECEIVE A MESSAGE THAT HE DID DIE AND, YOU KNOW, HE WAS A VERY SWEET KID. HE DID NOT DESERVE THIS. NEITHER DID THE COACH OR EVERYONE ELSE AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE, BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST HOPE THAT THE SHOOTER FINDS GOD AND THAT GOD FORGIVES WHAT THEY DID. >> CBS NEWS SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MARK STRASSMANN IS IN WINDER, GEORGIA. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE VICTIMS? >> Reporter: FIRST, JOHN, SOME GOOD NEWS IN A MOMENT THAT COULD USE SOME GOOD NEWS, NINE PEOPLE WERE EITHER WOUNDED OR HURT DURING THE SHOOTING. EIGHT HAVE BEEN RELEASED FROM THE SHOT. THE NINTH IS IN STABLE CONDITION. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS. NOW THE REST OF IT. THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT IS EXPERIENCING A LOT OF ANGUISH THAT IS REAL AND RAW. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE UNTHINKABLE. THEY'RE ALSO JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A POSSIBLE WHY, WHY SOMEBODY WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THOSE QUESTIONS ARE UNANSWERED AND THE GRIEF, OF COURSE, IS ALSO UNRESOLVED. >> TELL ME ABOUT IS THERE ANY -- I KNOW IT'S REALLY EARLY -- BUT ANY NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE SHOOTING SUSPECT'S HISTORY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT OR MOTIVE THAT'S COME OUT SINCE THE SHOOTING? >> Reporter: WELL, HERE'S WHAT'S NEW, JOHN, IN THE LAST 12 HOURS, 12 TO 18 HOURS. THE TEENAGE SUSPECT HAD BEEN ON LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT'S RADAR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR OR SO. ORIGINALLY THERE WAS A THREAT POSTED ONLINE. NEIGHBORING COUNTY DEPUTIES WENT TO THE SUSPECT'S HOUSE, TALKED TO HIS FATHER AND THE BOY, ASKED HIM WHETHER HE DID IT. HE DENIED DOING IT. THE FATHER SAID THERE WERE GUNS IN THE HOUSE BUT SAID THAT THE BOY DID NOT HAVE UNSUPERVISED ACCESS TO THOSE GUNS. SO THE CASE WAS THEN CLOSED. SEEN THROUGH THE PRISM OF WHAT HAPPENED HERE YESTERDAY, OF COURSE, THAT LOOKS LIKE A MISSED OPPORTUNITY, BUT I INTERVIEWED THE SHERIFF OF JACKSON COUNTY, THE NEIGHBORING COUNTY, WHO SAID BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WAS KNOWN AT THE TIME IN MAY OF 2023, THE DEPUTY DID THE BEST HE POSSIBLY COULD AND NO CHARGES WERE WARRANTS. FOR PEOPLE HERE, OF COURSE, THEY LOOK AT THAT AND THINK WOW, WAS IT POSSIBLE TO DO SOMETHING THEN AND AVOID WHAT HAPPENED HERE YESTERDAY? >> FINALLY, THE SUSPECT WILL BE IN COURT FRIDAY. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AT THAT HEARING? >> Reporter: I THINK THE HEARING IN THE MORNING WILL BE PERFUNCTORY. I THINK HE'LL BE INFORMED OF THE FOUR MURDER CHARGES AGAINST HIM. THEY'LL TRY TO WORK OUT REPRESENTATION AND IF HE NEEDS A LAWYER, THEY'LL BEGIN THE PROCESS OF GETTING HIM ONE. THE MORE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE HERE IS THE INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED
