The father of Colt Gray, the teen suspect in the Apalachee High School shooting, appeared in a Georgia courtroom Friday to face multiple charges stemming from this week’s deadly attack.

Colin Gray, 54, is being charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Thursday when the agency announced his arrest. The 14-year-old shooting suspect has been charged with four counts of felony murder.

GBI Director Chris Hosey said at a news conference Thursday night that the charges against Colin Gray stem from “knowingly allowing his son to possess a weapon.”

    Hard to find a problem with these charges. It seems fair that you should be held accountable if you let your weirdo kid have access to firearms and they do something bad with them.

    He earned every one of those charges and at least a hundred more imo.

    Negligent discharge of a fire arm every time a bullet was fired.

    Lock him up forever, or let the family of the victims have ever miserable second of the rest of his life.

    Men will literally buy their teenager an assault rifle after the FBI tells them their kid threatened to shoot up a school rather than go to therapy.

      Tbf, I don’t think moms are especially not guilty of this either. In the past year or so, one was convicted on similar charges on and, if I remember correctly, Adam Lanza got the weapons he used from his mother.
