Authorities charge 14-year-old murder accused Colt Gray as an adult after the shootings at Apalachee High School, outside Atlanta.
The father of an alleged school shooter has been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.
Authorities have charged 14-year-old Colt Gray as an adult with murder in the shootings on Wednesday at Apalachee High School, outside Atlanta. Jackson County Sheriff Janis Mangum said she reviewed the report from May 2023 and found nothing that would have justified bringing charges at the time."We did all we could do with what we had at the time."
The threat was made on Discord, a social media platform popular with video gamers, according to the sheriff's office incident report. The attack was the latest among dozens of school shootings across the US in recent years, including especially deadly ones in Newtown, Connecticut, Parkland, Florida, and Uvalde, Texas.In a landmark ruling, James and Jennifer Crumbley are the first parents convicted over a US mass school shooting.
Lyela said she heard a barrage of 10 to 15 gunshots. The students fell to the floor and crawled in search of a safe corner to hide.Two school resource officers confronted the shooter within minutes after the gunshots were reported, Georgia Bureau of Investigation director Chris Hosey said.Gray was being held at a regional youth detention facility. His first court appearance was scheduled for Friday morning.
It was the 30th mass killing in the US so far this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.
