The father of Colt Gray, who allegedly bought the gun the 14-year-old used to shoot dead four people at his Georgia high school, has been arrested on charges of murder, manslaughter and cruelty to children.
The 14-year-old was arrested on Wednesday at Apalachee High School in Winder, minutes after authorities say he opened fire on students and teachers.
Now, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is charging 54-year-old Colin Gray with four counts of Involuntary Manslaughter, two counts of Second Degree Murder and eight counts of Cruelty to Children.
The family home was raided on Wednesday afternoon, with FBI investigators seizing firearms and evidence.
Neighbors saw Colin return to the family home on Wednesday evening, though it is unclear if he handed himself into authorities.
Colt Gray was given the gun he used to allegedly shoot dead four people at his Georgia high school as a Christmas present from his father
It comes after sources claim that the father-of-three bought his 14-year-old son the assault rifle used in the shooting as a Christmas gift in 2023.
This was just months after the teenager and his father were interviewed by local law enforcement in connection with online threats about carrying out a school shooting made on the gaming social-media platform Discord, according to investigators.
This is a developing story.
