A 14-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting four people at a Georgia high school is set to make his first court appearance Friday, a day after his father was also arrested for enabling his son to possess a firearm.

Colt Gray, charged as an adult with four counts of murder, will appear via video from a youth detention facility at the Barrow County courthouse. The proceedings follow the deadly incident at Apalachee High School in Winder, near Atlanta.

Colin Gray, 54, faces charges including involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children. Authorities link his offenses directly to his son's actions. The case underscores the trend of holding parents accountable in school shootings.
