Colin Gray, the father of 14-year-old Colt Gray, has been charged with murder and involuntary manslaughter following a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia, where his son allegedly killed four and injured nine others with an AR-15-style rifle. The charges against Gray, which include two counts of second-degree murder, are unprecedented and reflect a growing trend to hold parents accountable for their children's actions, especially after the recent conviction of the Crumbleys in Michigan for a similar case. Prosecutors argue that Gray provided the weapon to his son despite knowing he posed a threat, a claim supported by prior police investigations into the boy's violent threats online. Legal experts note that the case will test the boundaries of parental responsibility in gun violence, as the prosecution seeks to establish a direct connection between the father's actions and the deaths caused by his son. Critics argue that while accountability is necessary, it is also vital to address broader gun control issues in the United States. The incident has reignited discussions about the responsibilities of parents in monitoring their children's access to firearms, especially in states with permissive gun laws.
