Authorities charged Colin Gray, the father of the Georgia school shooter Colt Gray, with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.
Colt is accused of killing two teachers and two students. He faces four counts of felony murder.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Director Chris Hosey didn’t confirm Gray gifted the gun to his 14-year-old son.
Hosey said Gray “knowingly allowed” his son “to possess it.”
According to reports, Gray gave Colt the gun for Christmas only a few months after the FBI interviewed the family about online shooting threats.
Colt shot up the school on his second day. He only enrolled two weeks ago:
“He was a brand new student to Barrow County Schools, he had enrolled about two weeks prior. This was his second day at school.

Aug. 1 was the first day of school for the district.Prior, the suspect had been at a local middle school, Smith said. According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office incident report from 2023, Colt Gray had previously attended Jefferson Middle School and prior to that West Jackson Middle School.
