Colt Gray, the 14-year-old suspect in the Georgia school shooting, was a loner, a student who sat next to him in class has said. The junior at the Apalachee High School has revealed Gray's weird behaviour moments before he opened fire, killing four, two pupils and two teachers.&nbsp;

Lyela Sayarath told CNN that she sat next to him on Wednesday morning in algebra class. "He never really talked, he wasn't (in school) most times, he would just skip class. Even when he would have talked, it was one-word answers," she told the channel.

This morning also, Lyela said, Gray was quiet as usual and had left the class minutes before shots rang. Lyela thought that he was skipping class because he left without a bathroom pass from their teacher. She said that she "wasn't surprised" when Gray was identified as the shooter.

Gray exited the class at 9:45 am and around half an hour later, active shooter alerts sounded in the school. A loudspeaker announcement told teachers to check their emails. That is when Gray reappeared at the door of the classroom, Lyela said.&nbsp;

Since no one thought that he might be the one carrying out the attack, a student went to open the door. However, he quickly noticed the gun in his hand and moved back. She says that Gray probably understood that they wouldn't open the door for him, so he went to the next class where the door was open and started firing.

He fired "a number of bullets one after another". "When we heard it, most people just dropped to the floor and like kind of crawled in an area like piled on top of each other," she said.

One of Lyela's friends witnessed someone get shot and had blood splattered on him. "He saw somebody get shot. He had blood on him. He was kinda limping. He looked horrified," she added.

<h2>Gray was on FBI's radar</h2>

Gray injured nine others before surrendering when confronted by the police officers. Mason Schermerhorn, an autistic 14-year-old student, was one of the deceased in Wednesday's shooting in Winder, Georgia.

Law enforcement officials are yet to ascertain whether it was a targeted shooting.&nbsp;

The firearm used by Gray in the shooting has not been identified and how he gained access to it is also yet to be ascertained.

Officials have said that Gray will be tried as an adult in the deadly shooting. Reports suggest that he had been on the FBI's radar for over a year for threatening to commit a school shooting. He and his father were interviewed at the time, but he denied making any threats. School officials were asked to keep a check on him.
