Authorities have charged 14-year-old Colt Gray as an adult with murder in the shootings Wednesday at Apalachee High School outside Atlanta, using a semiautomatic assault-style rifle. His alleged actions resulted in the tragic deaths of two students and two teachers, along with the injury of nine others, highlighting the severe consequences of school violence and the urgent need for gun safety measures.
Colin Gray, the father of the shooter, faces multiple charges including fourth counts of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder. This case exemplifies a growing trend in which prosecutors hold parents responsible for their children's actions in school shootings, following the landmark conviction of Michigan parents in a similar tragedy. The legal accountability of parents for their children's possession of weapons is increasingly gaining traction in these incidents.
