STORY 1: Police Arrest 17-Year-Old Suspect in McEachern Shooting A 17-year-old, Scott Foor of Powder Springs, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and possessing a gun on school property after a shooting in McEachern High School's parking lot. Two non-student individuals involved in a physical altercation with a McEachern student were shot by Foor, who witnessed the altercation. Another unidentified suspect also brandished a firearm but did not cause further injuries. The motive is under investigation, and it appears to be a targeted incident. The victims, believed to be former students, suffered superficial gunshot wounds. While Foor is in custody, the search continues for the second shooter. Authorities assure the safety of McEachern students, with increased police presence and counseling available. The investigation remains active. Witnesses or those with information are urged to contact Cobb Police.

Taylor faces charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, possession of a firearm during a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The incident occurred Saturday morning, with police responding to a "person shot" call. Fejzic was found in the bakery parking lot, unconscious and suffering from gunshot wounds.
