Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson helped put smiles on the faces of some students from Apalachee High School, where earlier this month a gunman killed four people and injured nine others.
On Saturday, Johnson posted a series of photos and videos to his Instagram showcasing his visit with students, identified by Johnson as members of the school’s football team.
“Sometimes one of the best paths to begin the healing journey is through our smiles, laughter and joy,” he wrote.
Earlier this month, 14-year-old student Colt Gray was charged with four counts of felony murder after prosecutors said he committed the deadliest US school shooting since the March 2023 rampage at the Covenant School in Nashville. Two students and two teachers were killed, including assistant football coach Richard Aspinwall.
Gray will be tried as an adult and if convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
His father, Colin Gray, 54, bought the gun allegedly used in the shooting and is charged with two counts of second-degree murder, four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of cruelty to children.
