Brad Smith

Brad Smith is the District Attorney for Barrow County, Georgia. He is currently newsworthy for leading the prosecution of Colin Gray, the father of a teenager accused of a high school shooting in September 2024. Gray's son is alleged to have killed two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School. Smith presented the case against Gray, arguing that he should be held responsible for providing his son with the weapon used in the shooting.

The jury found Colin Gray guilty of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, marking a significant outcome in a case that highlights parental responsibility in school shootings.
