Students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and teachers Christina Irimie, 53, and Richard Aspinwall, 39, were named as victims.
The horrors took place in Winder, Georgia. At least nine other people were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
The shooting was reported at 10:23 a.m. and Gray surrendered to police after being arrested.
Officials said an AR-style weapon was used in the shooting, but it was unclear who owned the weapon.
It has since emerged that the FBI visited Gray’s home last year and questioned him along with his father after receiving anonymous tips about threats against the school.
