Dad of Georgia high school shooting suspect found guilty of murder charges for mass shooting deaths

A Georgia jury has found Colin Gray guilty on all charges related to his actions of failing to stop his teenage son from carrying out a mass shooting at Apalachee High School that killed two students and two teachers in 2024.

The verdict was reached on Tuesday, after just a few hours of deliberating and two weeks of witness testimony.

Colin Gray faced 27 counts, including two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of involuntary manslaughter, tied to prosecutors’ claim that he knowingly allowed his troubled son access to firearms and ammunition. He had pleaded not guilty to all charges.

His son Colt Gray, who was 14 at the time of the September 4, 2024 shooting, is accused of bringing a rifle his father had given him for Christmas to school and killing two students and two teachers and wounding several others.

The teen faces 55 felony counts, including murder and aggravated assault. A date for his trial has not yet been set.
