USA: Father of 16-year-old school shooter convicted after gifting him the deadly weapon

Colin Gray, the father of a 16-year-old perpetrator who killed four people at Appalachee High School in Georgia in September 2024, has been convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors proved that Gray gifted the semi-automatic rifle used in the attack to his son despite warnings about the boy's mental health. This rare legal precedent holds a parent criminally responsible for the violent acts of their child, following a similar case in Michigan.
