March 3 (UPI) -- Jury deliberations began Tuesday morning in the case against the father of an alleged school shooter in Georgia who bought his son the gun that he allegedly used to kill four people.
Colin Gray, 55, faces felony charges for allegedly gifting his son an AR-style rifle after being warned by sheriff's deputies that his son, Colt Gray, had possibly threatened an attack on his school. The deputies could never prove the threat was posted by Colt.
In 2024, Colt Gray, then 14, allegedly killed two teachers and two students and injured nine others at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., with a gun his father bought him for Christmas. Colin Gray, pleaded not guilty to 30 charges, including two counts each of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.
Closing arguments took place Monday in the Colin Gray case. Prosecutors argue that he should be held accountable for giving his son the gun, and defense attorneys argue that he had no idea his son would commit such violence.
The prosecution said that Colin Gray knew what could happen.
