14-Year-Old Charged in Georgia School Shooting

Colt Gray, a 14-year-old, has been charged with four counts of felony murder after a school shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, which resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers, and injured nine others. During his first court appearance, Gray declined bail and is being charged as an adult, facing a potential life sentence. His father, Colin Gray, was also arrested and faces multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder, after allegedly providing his son with the rifle used in the attack. This incident marks a significant legal precedent, as it is the first time in Georgia a parent has been charged in connection with a school shooting. Colt denied making threats in a prior police interview, which had been investigated months before the shooting. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding gun access and parental responsibility in the context of youth violence.
