Georgia school shooting: Father and son, Colin and Colt Gray, indicted by grand jury

Colt Gray has been charged as an adult with four counts of felony murder in connection to the shooting in September at Apalachee High School that killed four people. He faces a maximum penalty of life in prison without parole or life with the possibility of parole if convicted.

His father, Colin Gray, 54, was arrested and charged for allegedly purchasing the firearm used in the shooting and giving it to his son for Christmas.

Both are scheduled for arraignment on Nov. 21.

Officials said the four victims that Colt Gray is accused of killing were two students, Mason Schermerhorn, 14, and Christian Angulo, 14, and two teachers, Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irmie.

Marcee Gray, mother of Colt Gray, claimed she warned the school the morning of the attack, and teachers had already noticed red flags.

In a previous interview with ABC News, Marcee Gray said she called the school counselor on the morning of Sept. 4, 2024, the day of the shooting, to warn officials about a concerning message she’d received from her son, Colt Gray. 

Authorities have said Colin Gray, gave Colt access to the semiautomatic AR-15 style rifle used in the shooting. However, it's not clear how Gray brought the gun to campus or what he did with it in the two hours between school starting at 8:15 a.m. and when shots first rang out.

It's unclear if Barrow County School authorities knew before the shooting about the 2023 interview.
