Georgia Father Convicted in Son’s School Shooting
A Georgia man, Colin Gray, has been convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for providing his teenage son with the gun used in a school shooting. Jurors found Gray guilty of second-degree murder in the deaths of two students and involuntary manslaughter in the killings of two teachers, following evidence that he allowed his son access to the weapon despite ample warning of the boy’s dangerous intentions and obsession with school shooters. This conviction marks a significant legal precedent in Georgia, aligning with a trend of parents being held criminally responsible for their children’s involvement in school shootings. Gray faces a substantial prison sentence for his role in the tragedy.
