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.
