"Prosecutors accused Gray of criminal negligence and argued that he gave his 14-year-old son, Colt Gray, access to a firearm and ammunition after receiving sufficient warning that Colt Gray would harm and endanger the bodily safety of another."
"After roughly two weeks of testimony, jurors deliberated for just a few hours before convicting 54-year-old Colin Gray on more than two dozen charges, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, related to the 4 September fatal shooting at Apalachee high school in Georgia."
"The victims of the attack were identified as teachers Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53, and students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14. Another teacher and eight more students were wounded."
Colin Gray, 54, was found guilty on Tuesday of second-degree murder and over two dozen charges related to the September 4, 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Jurors deliberated for a few hours before convicting him after two weeks of testimony. Prosecutors argued Gray showed criminal negligence by giving his 14-year-old son, Colt Gray, access to a firearm and ammunition despite receiving warnings that his son posed a danger to others. The shooting killed two teachers and two students. Colt Gray, charged as an adult with 55 counts including malice murder, awaits trial. This case reflects a broader trend of parents being held criminally responsible for school shootings committed by their children.
