Prosecutors accused Gray of buying his son an #AR15 style rifle as a Christmas present & allowing him access to that weapon & #ammunition despite #warnings that his son was a #danger to others. #ColtGray, then 14, used that rifle to carry out a #MassShooting at #ApalacheeHighSchool in Winder, #Georgia, in September 2024, killing 2 #teachers & 2 #students & wounding nine others.

The trial is part of a broader push to hold more people accountable for a #SchoolShooting, including the shooter’s #parents & responding law enforcement officers. This case bears close similarities to the trials & convictions of James & Jennifer #Crumbley, whose then-15-year-old son killed 4 students in 2021 at his high school in Oxford, #Michigan.
