A 14-year-old boy in Georgia is accused of fatally shooting four people at Apalachee High School. His father, Colin Gray, has been arrested and faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, for allowing his son access to a weapon.
The incident is part of a growing trend where parents are held accountable for their children’s actions in school shootings. Colt Gray, the teen, is charged as an adult and allegedly used a semiautomatic rifle in the attack, which left two students and two teachers dead, along with nine others injured.
Authorities had previously interviewed the boy over a social media threat in 2023 but were unable to arrest him due to conflicting evidence. This incident is one of many tragic school shootings in recent years, sparking ongoing debates about gun control in the U.S.
