Apalachee High School shooting suspect Colt Gray and his father Colin Gray were arraigned on Friday morning as they both faced murder charges.

Judge Currie Mingledorff II told the 14-year-old alleged gunman that he could face life in prison if convicted on any of the four felony murder counts held against him.

The judge has ruled out the possibility of Colt Gray receiving a death sentence because he’s under the age of 18.

Judge Currie Mingledorff II read out the maximum sentencing for each of the charges filed against Colin Gray, father of the suspected Georgia school shooter.

He faces up to 30 years in prison for each of the two charges of felony murder in second degree, 10 years in jail for each of the four counts of felony involuntary manslaughter, and 10 years years for each of the eight counts of felony cruelty to children in the second degree.

A maximum total possible penalty is 180 years imprisonment, the Mingledorff said. Colin Gray was visibly distressed, rocking back and forth during the arraignment.

Both Colt Gray and and his father were told that they had the right to a “speedy and public trial by judge or jury”. Neither requested a bond and no pleas were entered.

They will both remain in custody and are next due in court on December 4.

As a Georgia high school reels from the mass shooting that left two students and two teachers dead, details have emerged that paint a picture of the “hostile” and gun “obsessed” homelife of suspected shooter, Colt Gray.

The 14-year-old has been charged in the deaths of students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and teachers Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53 in Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder. And now, so has his father, Colin Gray.

Rhian Lubin and Justin Rohrlich have more.

The father of Georgia school shooting suspect Colt Gray said that high-calibre weapons were “accessible” to the teen a year before he was accused of opening fire inside Apalachee High School, newly-released audio reveals.

Last year, Georgia authorities visited the Jefferson home of Colin Gray, 54, and his 14-year-old son, the alleged gunman who police say killed four people in Winder on Wednesday.

The mass shooting followed the FBI receiving a tip about alarming online messages with threats to possibly “shoot up a middle school” in a group chat on the app Discord. The chat also contained photographs of guns, the bureau’s Atlanta office said in a statement.

James Liddell has the full details.

Judge Currie Mingledorff II has ruled out the possibility of Colt Gray receiving a death sentence, citing he’s not eligible because he’s under the age of 18.
