The father of the 14-year-old Apalachee High School student accused of killing four people and injuring nine others during a shooting at the Barrow County school on Wednesday will also face charges, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Thursday night.
Colin Gray, 54, has been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, GBI Director Chris Hosey said. His son, Colt Gray, is accused of shooting nine students and four teachers with an AR-platform style gun and is facing four counts of felony murder.
