Colin Gray, the father of the suspect in the Apalachee High School shooting, has been arrested, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He’s charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.
His 14-year-old son, accused of killing two students and two teachers with an AR-15-style rifle, told investigators “I did it” while being questioned, the Barrow County sheriff said. The student faces four counts of felony murder, according to charging documents obtained by CNN.
Colin Gray told investigators he purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources. That would put the purchase months after authorities first interviewed the father and son as they investigated a school shooting threat.
During a search of the suspect’s home, authorities found documents they believe were written by the suspect and referenced past school shootings, a law enforcement source tells CNN.
