Teen accused of killing 4 at Georgia high school makes first court appearance

The teenager suspected of killing two students and two teachers at a high school in Georgia made his first appearance in court Friday morning.

The 14-year-old was arraigned on four counts of felony murder, two days after being taken into custody for the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. The maximum penalty for each count is punishable by death, life without parole, or life with the possibility of parole.

In court, the teenager declined to seek bail. Despite his age, he is being charged as an adult.

The teen had been held at a juvenile detention facility since Wednesday.
