Trial to begin in Georgia for the father of the Apalachee High School shooting suspect
Colin Gray faces 29 charges including second-degree murder for allegedly providing his son access to the firearm used in the 2024 Apalachee High School shooting.
- On Monday, February 9, 2026, jury selection begins in the trial of Colin Gray at the Barrow County courthouse for the Apalachee High School shooting that killed four and wounded nine.
- Prosecutors allege Colin Gray provided the weapon and accessories despite warning signs, buying an AR-style rifle as a December 2023 holiday gift and prompting a grand jury indictment.
- Investigators found detailed planning materials and diagrams in the suspect's notebook; a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent testified Colt Gray, 14 at the time, brought a semiautomatic rifle in his backpack and began shooting after leaving a bathroom.
- Judge Nicholas Primm approved a Hall County jury while keeping the trial at the Barrow County courthouse, setting aside about three weeks and maintaining Gray's $500,000 bond.
- The case is only the nation's second prosecution of parents in a school shooting, following Jennifer and James Crumbley, with Colin Gray facing up to 180 years under Georgia law on second-degree murder and cruelty to children.
