Students in Georgia describe the terror of a school shooting as prosecutors try to convict the suspect’s father for giving him the gun. On Tuesday, ninth-graders testified that they saw a classmate bleeding in their algebra class. One student said she saw a hole in her wrist and feared she would die. Investigators say then 14-year-old Colt Gray planned the Sept. 4, 2024, attack that killed two teachers and two students and wounded several more.
