After Cobb schools initially refused to ID the company that will be using national intelligence tactics to detect school threats, the district confirmed the company is Servius Group -- a private travel security firm for the wealthy, @ThadMoore reported https://t.co/7dkGrReQjP

The leader of a secretive company proposing to use student data to detect school threats spoke at the Cobb County school board meeting this month. He wouldn't give his last name or identify his company.

Our investigation into the state of Atlanta's drinking water valves and the role they played in the May/June water crisis: https://t.co/8rD1QqV5Dv

[Thad Moore @thadmoore]

New: Atlanta's top water official addressed the city's failure to maintain key components of its drinking water system today in response to our investigation. "It’s unfortunate that we’re here," he said, vowing to fix the problems.

Atlanta’s water crisis took six days to fix in June. A geyser roared in Midtown for days before crews got it under control.
What took so long? The parts that should have stopped the flow failed. The city says it didn’t do enough to ensure they’d work. https://t.co/8rD1QqUxNX

@bpwatl1 @R_A_Belcher Gotcha, I follow now - I have to say I haven't looked into this myself and I'm not intimately familiar with our coverage of the ports

[Thad Moore @thadmoore]

Equipment failures left Atlanta with two choices to stop the geyser in Midtown earlier this year: shut off water as far away as Buckhead, or tell residents to boil their water for days.

@R_A_Belcher @bpwatl1 I'm not sure I follow the question, but happy to help if I can

@R_A_Belcher Thank you for the kind words!

Wednesday's shooting at Apalachee High School occurred in neighboring Barrow County. Gray previously lived in Jackson County, and the sheriff's office there briefly investigated him in connection with the threats.

[Thad Moore @thadmoore]

We previously reported that Jackson County, Ga.'s largest school district wasn't told Colt Gray was being investigated for potential school shooting threats in 2023.
The sheriff now says the school district Gray attended may not have been notified either.

#BREAKING: More than a year before Colt Gray allegedly shot and killed two teachers and two students at Apalachee High School, local investigators questioned the boy about a disturbing tip they’d received from the FBI.

New: Local police investigated the alleged Georgia school shooter in 2023 for making school shooting threats, but quickly dismissed the risk. An officer told Colt Gray, “I gotta take you at your word, and I hope you’re being honest with me.” W/ @klandergan https://t.co/YRJn4jN07J

Big update in Hampton County, S.C.: The former county administrator has been charged with embezzlement. https://t.co/3UskzWuXBd

[Thad Moore @thadmoore]

After Hampton County got a new administrator last year, she called the sheriff to report things "that just didn’t look right." SLED has been investigating since, the agency has confirmed.
