A Georgia man whose teenage son is accused of killing two students and two teachers at a high school has been convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Colin Gray also was found guilty Tuesday of all other charges in the September 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, northeast of Atlanta. Gray is one of a number of parents across the country who have been charged after their children were accused in fatal shootings. Prosecutors said Gray gave his son, Colt, access to a gun and ammunition “after receiving sufficient warning that Colt Gray would harm and endanger the bodily safety of another.”

Prosecutors say a Georgia father could have stopped his 14-year-old son from carrying out a school shooting, and they want jurors to convict him. On Monday, the trial enters its third week and jurors are preparing to deliberate. Prosecutor Patricia Brooks said Monday that the father saw warning signs and still gave his son a rifle. The defense says the real blame sits with the teen, and says no one could foresee the attack. The shooting killed two students and two teachers in 41 seconds. The boy faces dozens of charges. The father also faces murder and manslaughter counts.
