Georgia state officials arrested Colin Gray, the 54-year-old father of a 14-year-old suspected in a fatal school shooting at Apalachee High School. The incident, which left four dead and nine wounded, has ignited debates on parental responsibility and gun control.

According to Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Gray faces charges including involuntary manslaughter, second-degree murder, and cruelty to children. His son, Colt Gray, has been charged with four counts of felony murder and will be tried as an adult.

Authorities say the younger Gray used a semiautomatic rifle in the attack. This tragic event has revived national discussions on gun control and the responsibility of parents in preventing school shootings.
