First Parent Convicted in Georgia School Shooting | Reno News

A Georgia father just got 15 years for handing his 16-year-old son the rifle used in a deadly school shooting — making him the first parent in the state convicted for a school shooting linked to their child. The teen, who pleaded guilty to felony murder, now faces life in prison. Prosecutors say the father, Colin Gray, gave the gun as a Christmas gift without realizing his son’s violent potential. Despite claiming ignorance, evidence showed a history of abuse and neglect, plus prior warnings about gun safety. Victim families blamed him directly, and the judge called it a historic case — Gray failed as a parent, even if he didn’t intend the tragedy. This conviction, under a new Georgia law, could spark similar charges nationwide. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
