Father of Apalachee High School shooter to be sentenced
Colin Gray sentencing starts Thursday
Colin Gray, father of Apalachee High School mass shooter Colt Gray, faces up to 180 years in prison at his sentencing in Barrow County.
BARROW COUNTY, Ga. - The father of Apalachee High School mass shooter Colt Gray will appear in a Barrow County courtroom Thursday for his sentencing.
What we know:
Colin Gray, 55, faces a maximum sentence of 180 years in prison after a jury convicted him in March on 27 counts, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors argued that the father failed to act on obvious mental health warning signs involving his son, who was 14 at the time of the tragedy.
Despite those warning signs, Colin Gray provided his son with the AR-15 style assault rifle used in the attack that left two students and two teachers dead, as well as 11 people injured.
