A man who gave his son the gun he used in a deadly high school shooting in Georgia has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Colin Gray was convicted of charges including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter after his then 14-year-old son, Colt Gray, used the weapon to kill two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in September 2024. Colt Gray was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors say Colin Gray gave his son the rifle as a Christmas gift. The elder Gray is among a handful of American parents who have been charged after their children were accused in shootings.
A judge has set a plea and sentencing hearing for a teenager accused of killing four people in a 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Colt Gray, 16, had pleaded not guilty to charges including murder. The judge scheduled a “Non-Negotiated Plea and Sentencing Hearing” for July 24. This means the state and defense have not agreed on a sentence, leaving it up to the judge. Gray's trial was set for October. His father was convicted on multiple charges after prosecutors said he gave his son the rifle used in the shooting. The attack left two students and two teachers dead, with several others wounded.
