Now, his father Colin Gray has also been arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree murder on Thursday (Sept. 5). He was also charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of cruelty to children.

Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said in a press conference Thursday night that Colin Gray allegedly

“knowingly allowed [his son] to possess the weapon. His charges are directly connected to the actions of his son.

Last year, Colt Gray was questioned by the FBI about threats he allegedly made on Discord about carrying out a school shooting. He denied those allegations at the time.

His aunt Annie Brown also said that he had been “begging” the adults around him to get him help mentally.

Colt Gray’s grandfather, Charles Polhamus, had been pushing for charges against Colin Gray before his arrest, stating,

“If he didn’t have a damn gun, he wouldn’t have gone and killed anybody.”
