US state holds father of 14-year-old suspect accountable for fatal school shooting, charges him with second-degree murder and cruelty to children
“These charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son Colt to possess a weapon,” Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, told a press conference. The shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, a city of 18,000 some 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, revived both the national debate about gun control and the outpouring of grief that follows in a country where such attacks occur with some regularity.
In April, the mother and father of a Michigan teen were sentenced to between 10 and 15 years in prison after a jury had convicted them of manslaughter after their son shot and killed four classmate. It was believed to be the first time parents were held legally responsible for their children’s action in a school shooting.
The Grays told the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department they had not made the threats. The father also said he had hunting guns locked in a safe in the house and his son did not have access to them. In the Michigan case, Jennifer and James Crumbley, the parents of Ethan Crumbley, who in 2021 shot and killed four classmates at Oxford High School, were found guilty of not securing guns in their home and of ignoring warning signs that their son was mentally disturbed.
