Colt Gray's Aunt Speaks Out
She vowed not to leave her "nephew standing alone!!!!"
"When Uvalde happened, I told my own children that 'only hurt people hurt people'," Brown wrote. She also said she did everything she could for her nephew. "I will take care of my nephew and what he needs on this side — just check yourself before you speak about a child that never asked to deal with the bulls—t he saw on a daily basis."
She also said that she wouldn't back down.
"I am not scared, I will not back down," Brown said. "I Will NOT disrespect other parents and families that are dealing with this tragedy on the opposite end. They DID NOT DESERVE THIS!!!!"
"Y'all can go ahead and play the blame game all you want, but THE FAMILIES affected by my nephew's actions deserve all the attention now!!!!!!," she added.
Brown made her Facebook account private after it went viral.
Meanwhile, the FBI revealed it previously investigated threats from Gray in 2023.
It wrote, "In May 2023, the FBI's National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time."
"The online threats contained photographs of guns. Within 24 hours, the FBI determined the online post originated in Georgia and the FBI's Atlanta Field Office referred the information to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for action," it continued.
Local authorities found no probable cause to arrest him.
