Guilty verdict for US father of teenage school shooter
AI Summary
Colin Gray, the father of a teenage boy who committed a school shooting in Winder, Georgia in 2024, was found guilty on 29 charges, including murder and child cruelty. The shooting at Apalachee High School resulted in the deaths of two teachers and two students. Prosecutors argued that Gray could have prevented the shooting, as he was aware of his son's deteriorating mental state and obsession with school shootings. Despite knowing his son had previously been questioned about online threats, Gray bought him an AR-style rifle. Gray's defense attempted to shift blame to his son, but the jury deliberated for only two hours before reaching a guilty verdict. This case marks the third time a US parent has been held criminally responsible for a mass shooting committed by their child.
