A 14-year-old suspect charged in the school shooting at Apalachee High School has denied previous threats of violence when interviewed by police last year. Despite an earlier FBI tip, investigators could not proceed due to conflicting evidence.

The teen opened fire in a hallway outside his algebra classroom, killing four and wounding nine using an assault-style rifle. The victims include two 14-year-old students and two teachers.

The incident marks the latest in a series of school shootings nationwide, intensifying the debate over gun control laws in the U.S.
