Colin Gray

Colin Gray, a 54 or 55-year-old man (as of March 2026), is the father of Colt Gray, who committed a school shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, in September 2024. The shooting resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers. Colin Gray is newsworthy because he was recently found guilty on multiple charges, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, in connection with the shooting. The prosecution argued that Gray was criminally reckless in providing his then 14-year-old son, Colt, with the rifle used in the attack, which was reportedly given as a Christmas gift. The jury deliberated for a short time before reaching the guilty verdict on all charges after a two-week trial. The case highlights the legal and ethical responsibilities of parents regarding access to firearms and the potential consequences of negligence in such matters.
