Georgia father jailed 15 years for gifting rifle used in high school shooting

Colin Gray, father of a teen shooter at Apalachee High School in Georgia, was sentenced to 15 years for giving his son the assault-style rifle used in the 2024 attack that killed two teachers and two students and wounded others; his son Colton Gray was sentenced to life without parole for four killings and related charges. Prosecutors and victims’ families said the father’s negligence enabled the tragedy, while the judge urged a measured, emotion-free sentence.
