Colt Gray, the 14-year-old gunman accused of killing four people at his Georgia high school, appeared in court for the first time on Friday to face murder charges, less than 24 hours after his father’s arrest in connection with the bloody massacre.

Gray, armed with AR-style rifle, opened fired Wednesday morning inside classrooms at Apalachee High School in the suburb of Winder, some 50 miles outside Atlanta. Local authorities were alerted to the violence through new technology on the teacher’s identification badges: a small button that, when pushed, notifies law enforcement to a potential active situation.
