Colin Gray was accused of criminal recklessness in allowing his 14-year-old son Colt to have access to a rifle.
The father of a school shooter in the United States has been convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for his son’s attack on Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on September 4, 2024.
A jury in the southern state returned the verdict on Tuesday after less than two hours of deliberation.
The father, Colin Gray, was found guilty on all charges. His son, Colt Gray, was 14 years old when he opened fire in the high school he attended, killing two students and two teachers and injuring seven others.
Colin Gray’s case is the latest instance of a parent facing prison time for alleged negligence in the lead-up to a school shooting.
His conviction follows a pair of guilty verdicts in 2024 for the parents of another school shooter, Jennifer and James Crumbley, who were charged with involuntary manslaughter.
