Georgia high school shooter suspect Colt Gray appears in court after bloody assault killed 4
SUMMARY
Colt Gray, the 14-year-old suspect in the deadly Apalachee High School shooting, appeared in court Friday for the first time, where he was informed he could face the death penalty if convicted. Gray, charged as an adult with four counts of murder, is accused of killing two students and two teachers during a rampage that left nine others injured. Wearing green prison garb, Gray sat silently as the judge outlined his potential punishment. His lawyer declined to request bail, and the teen was led out in shackles. Gray’s father, Colin Gray, 54, is also facing charges, including involuntary manslaughter, for allegedly gifting his son the AR-15-style rifle used in the attack. Authorities are investigating previous warnings about the teen’s behavior, including a social media threat in 2023. Grief-stricken relatives of the victims attended the hearing, some clutching toys as they mourned their loss.
