The father of a teenage student who killed two teachers and two classmates in a Georgia high school shooting two years ago was sentenced on Thursday to 15 years in prison for providing his son with the weapon used in the attack.
Colin Gray’s offenses, the judge Nicholas Primm said during the sentencing hearing in Winder, were crimes of negligence “tethered to the tragedy committed by his son” Colton, who was 14 when he entered Apalachee high school on 4 September 2024 and opened fire.
Primm said Gray, who was convicted in March on charges of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, shared responsibility for the attack, having gifted his son the assault-style rifle as a Christmas present.
“My heart aches for everyone that was there that day, for all of you that have been impacted by it,” said Primm, a Barrow county superior court judge.
