Father of Georgia shooting suspect arrested on manslaughter charges
The father of the 14-year-old suspect in the Apalachee High School shooting was arrested Thursday and charged with involuntary manslaughter and other charges.
CBS News reported that law enforcement sources said Colin Gray, 54, gave his son an AR-15 rifle “as a gift…in December 2023.”
The specific charges against the father include “four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of
“cruelty to children”.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) noted that the charges “stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son… to possess a weapon.”
The GBI called on communities across the state to encourage students “across the state to contact a faculty member at their school with any concerns or suspicious items they may see.”
The 14-year-old boy arrested in the Apalachee High School shooting has been charged with four counts of murder.
Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith spoke at a news conference Thursday night and announced that all nine people injured in the attack would make full recoveries.
Breitbart News reported that the 14-year-old attacker was stopped by a gunman. The man was a deputy who served as a school resource officer.
