Tragedy Strikes: Father Arrested in Connection to Georgia School Shooting

Georgia state officials arrested the father of a 14-year-old student implicated in a school shooting that resulted in four deaths and nine injuries. Colin Gray, 54, faces multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter.

Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said that Gray knowingly allowed his son, Colt, to possess a deadly weapon. The younger Gray used a semiautomatic rifle in the attack that claimed the lives of two teachers and two students.

The shooting has revived national debates about gun control and parental accountability in the U.S. Colt is set to be arraigned on Friday and will be tried as an adult. This tragic event has emphasized the need for stricter measures to prevent school shootings.
