Father of US school shooting suspect arrested

The father of a 14-year-old boy suspected of carrying out a shooting at a school in Georgia, United States, was arrested on Thursday (5), according to the state Department of Investigation.

Colin Gray, 54, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.

Gray previously told investigators that he purchased the gun used in the case as a Christmas present for his son in December 2023.

This information indicates that the purchase of the weapon took place months after authorities first contacted the family, while investigating a threat of attack that was allegedly made by the young man arrested this Wednesday (4).

The 14-year-old suspect, a student at Apalachee High School, is accused of killing two students and two teachers, and injuring nine others.
