Georgia teen Colt Gray sentenced to life without parole for Apalachee High School killings

Colt Gray, 16, was sentenced in Barrow County, Georgia, to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to 55 charges for the September 2024 killings at Apalachee High School. Prosecutors said Gray planned the attack since 2023 and sought infamy through an online True Crime Community, while his defense cited an abusive childhood and mental health struggles rather than true schizophrenia; the judge described the act as driven by notoriety. The sentencing followed days of victim impact statements, evidence, and expert testimony. Gray’s father, Colin Gray, faces sentencing on 27 charges for providing the rifle used, with a minimum time served and a maximum exceeding 100 years.
