A 14-year-old boy in Georgia has been charged with four counts of murder for using a semiautomatic assault-style rifle to kill two students and two teachers at his high school this week. Colt Gray had his initial hearing after being charged as an adult in the recent school shooting. Following that hearing, his father, Colin Gray, was also in court, facing multiple charges for allowing his son access to a weapon.
The shooting at Apalachee High School near Atlanta has resulted in both father and son being in custody, families preparing for funerals, and the community seeking answers about the tragic incident. Details have emerged about how the shooting unfolded, but there are still unanswered questions regarding the motive and specifics of the attack.
The victims of the shooting have been identified as students Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, along with math teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie. The injured individuals are expected to recover fully, according to authorities. More information about the shooter and the events leading up to the shooting are slowly coming to light.
Colt Gray, the suspected shooter, is facing four murder charges with additional charges expected.

The father faces multiple charges for allowing his son access to the weapon used in the shooting, but details about how the gun came into the boy’s possession remain unknown. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working on building a strong case for the judicial process.
