Man Who Gave His Teen Rifle Is Guilty of Murder After School Shooting [View all]

A Georgia father was found guilty on Tuesday of ignoring warning signs and allowing his son unfettered access to an assault-style rifle that prosecutors say the teenager used in a deadly school shooting.

The jury deliberated only about two hours before concluding that the father, Colin Gray, 54, was guilty of more than two dozen charges, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, stemming from the attack on Sept. 4, 2024, at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga. Two students and two teachers were killed.

Prosecutors said that the father had given his son, Colt Gray, the AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas gift, letting him keep it in his bedroom. The elder Mr. Gray did not take it away even as his son’s behavior became more volatile and he showed signs of an obsession with school shooters.

Colt Gray was 14 at the time of the shooting. He now faces 55 counts related to the attack, with prosecutors charging him as an adult. He pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
