Colin Gray, a 54 or 55-year-old man (age varies slightly across articles), is the father of Colt Gray, who committed a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, in September 2024. Gray is newsworthy because he was recently found guilty of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, along with other charges including child cruelty. The conviction stems from his role in providing his teenage son with the rifle used in the attack, which resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers. After roughly two weeks of testimony, the jury deliberated for a short time before reaching the verdict on March 3, 2026. Gray pleaded not guilty to all 29 charges. This case is significant as it highlights the legal accountability of parents in cases of gun violence involving their children.
