United States: The father of the 14-year-old suspect in the Apalachee High School attack was arrested on Thursday and charged with manslaughter and other offenses.
CBS News reported that law enforcement sources indicated that 54-year-old Colin Gray allegedly gave an AR-15 rifle to his son “as a gift in December 2023.”
The father is facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children, according to the reports.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) noted that the charges “stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son…to possess a weapon.”
GBI called for communities across the state to encourage students “across this state to contact a member of their school faculty with any and all concerns of suspicious that they may see.”
The 14-year-old arrested for the Apalachee High School shooting has been charged with four counts of felony murder.
Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith spoke at the press conference Thursday night and announced that the nine individuals who were injured in the attack will be making “a full recovery,” as per reports.
According to recent reports, a good guy with a gun stopped the 14-year-old attacker. The good guy was a deputy serving as a School Resource Officer.
Should the suspect’s father be charged with these crimes?
