Father Seeks New Trial After Son’s School Shooting | Durham News

Colin Gray, father of the Apalachee High School shooter, is demanding a new trial after being sentenced to 15 years — arguing the jury got it wrong and the evidence doesn’t support the guilty verdict. His son, Colt, already serves life without parole for the 2024 massacre that killed two students and two teachers. Prosecutors say Gray gave his son the deadly rifle as a Christmas gift, leading to charges of second-degree murder under Georgia’s cruelty statute and involuntary manslaughter. The case reignites debate over parental accountability in school shootings, with legal proceedings far from over and national attention still focused on this heartbreaking tragedy.
