A 14-year-old boy from Georgia made his first court appearance after being accused of fatally shooting four people at Apalachee High School in Winder. The teenager, identified as Colt Gray, allegedly used a semiautomatic assault-style rifle to kill two students and two teachers, while injuring nine others during the attack on Wednesday.

Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the shooting or how Gray obtained the weapon and brought it into the school. In a surprising turn of events, the teen's father, Colin Gray, aged 54, was also arrested in connection with the incident. He faces charges of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder for allowing his son to possess a firearm.
