Colin Gray, the father of the alleged Georgia school shooter Colt Gray, has entered a not guilty plea to charges, including two counts of second-degree murder, related to the September shooting incident. The plea was entered on his behalf by his attorney, Jimmy Berry, who waived a formal arraignment. Gray, who did not appear in court, faces a total of 29 charges, which include two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
The grand jury indictment stated that Gray provided his son with access to a firearm and ammunition despite being warned that Colt Gray posed a significant risk to the safety of others. This action was deemed to have created a substantial and unjustifiable danger.
Colt Gray, the 14-year-old accused of killing two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Winder, northeast of Atlanta, and injuring nine others, has been indicted on 55 counts. These charges include four counts each of malice murder and felony murder. Colt Gray will be tried as an adult and had previously entered a not guilty plea in court last month.
Following Thursday's brief court hearing, both the prosecution and defense attorneys declined to provide any comments on the ongoing legal proceedings.
