Barrow County's 911 call center was inundated with calls around 10:20 a.m. Many callers received an automated message saying the center was “highly busy” rather than a response from an operator.

One caller struggled to find the words to describe his daughter's account of the school shooting, saying, “My daughter called me crying. Someone was saying, 'Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.'”

An agreed-upon response given to callers that morning explained that officers were on scene but could not provide further details. Apalachee High School was immediately placed on lockdown.
