Chris Hosey, the director of the #Georgia Bureau of Investigation [#GBI], said the charges stem from Gray “knowingly allowing” his son to possess a weapon.
Gray is in custody & the charges are “directly connected with the actions of his son & allowing him to possess a weapon,” Hosey said.

“There are too many people who are able to access #guns that shouldn’t be able to,” President #Biden said in his first remarks about the #Georgia #SchoolShooting. “Let’s require safe storage of firearms. I know I have mine locked up,” he said, adding, “You've got to hold #parents accountable if they let their child have access to these guns.”
