He is the first parent of a school shooter in the U.S. to be convicted of murder. The 55-year-old was found guilty earlier this year of 27 charges, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter; prosecutors argued he ignored repeated warning signs about his son, Colt. Colt Gray, now 16, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole earlier this week. Deputies visited the family\u2019s home in May 2023 after the FBI received a tip about an online threat to shoot up a school. Although investigators could not substantiate the threat, Gray bought Colt the AR-15-style rifle later that year as a Christmas gift. \u201cHe is the reason four people are dead, seven were injured and countless others were traumatized,\u201d Barrow County District Attorney Brad Smith told the court. \u201cHe is the reason a 16-year-old boy was sentenced two days ago to the rest of his life in prison.\u201d Evidence also showed Gray knew his son had been physically violent, kept a photo of a school shooter on his bedroom wall, and had texted weeks before the attack, \u201cWhenever something happens, just know the blood is on your hands.\u201d On the morning of the shooting, school officials mistakenly stopped another student named Kolton Gray instead of Colt, allowing the teen to retrieve the rifle he had hidden in his backpack before opening fire in a math classroom and hallway. Teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie and students Mason Schermerhorn, 14, and Christian Angulo, 14, were killed. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4706\">Disturbing Details Emerge After Hiker Torn Apart by Alligator<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read it at <span>NBC News<\/span><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colin Gray, the Georgia father whose teenage son carried out the deadly 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School, was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in prison.
