Teen and father accused of Georgia school shooting make court appearance.


Father and Son Face Charges in Georgia School Shooting A father and son appeared in court for the first time following Georgia's deadliest school shooting. The 14-year-old is accused of killing two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School, while his father faces charges for allowing his son access to the weapon used in the shooting. Both were represented by public defenders and did not enter a plea or request bond. The father, Colin Gray, could face up to 180 years in prison, while his son faces four counts of felony murder. The teenager was informed that, as a minor, he would not face the death penalty. This case is rare as parents of shooting suspects are not often charged, but prosecutors are increasingly holding them responsible in high-profile cases. The school went into lockdown at the sound of gunshots, and the suspect surrendered to school resource officers. Reports suggest the teenager had an interest in mass shootings, and relatives indicated a troubled home life. The Grays had been investigated by law enforcement officials before, with the father owning multiple guns at the time. This tragic event has left the community in shock, with families of the victims seeking justice for their loved ones.
