- Colt Gray, 14, and his father, Colin Gray, were arraigned in a Georgia courtroom on Friday in relation to the Wednesday shooting at Apalachee High School, where two students and two teachers were shot and killed.[1]
- The younger Gray faces four counts of felony murder, while his father faces four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children.[1]
- Colin Gray, whose charges total a possible 180 years in prison, was arrested Thursday. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation believes the father "knowingly" permitted his son to have a weapon and that the AR platform-style weapon used in the shooting was a Christmas present to the son.[2]
- Colt Gray will be tried as an adult, though due to his age, the judge overseeing the case has said he won't face the death penalty. In addition to the four deaths, nine people — including seven students — were injured.[1][3]
- The charges against Colin Gray come after the conviction earlier this year of the parents of a 15-year-old who killed four classmates in a Michigan high school shooting. They each received 10-15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter.[4]
