Father of Georgia school shooting suspect told investigators he purchased gun as holiday present for son, sources say
The father of the Apalachee High School shooting suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting that left four people dead, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The father of the mass shooting suspect accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.
Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student, is accused of killing two students and two teachers with an AR-style rifle in the Wednesday shooting. Nine more people were hospitalized.
One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present.

Call me crazy, but I don’t think children should own guns.
But but the real issue is them being exposed to drag queens!
imagine how much worse this would be if the child in question went to drag time story hour instead of being given a killing machine! /s
Drag queen story times are of the devil! ( The Christians say while attending church where someone dresses up and reads stories).
he gifted him a gun to protect him from school shooting. that's right-wing logic
I was gonna write a witty but bleak reply to this but I’m not gonna. Have a nice day
Did he think the kid was going to carry it around the school all day every day? Did he know that school shootings tend to happen ... in schools?
I grew up in a rural area with just my mom. We had two handguns and a shotgun hidden in the house. Anytime we went walking in the pasture a gun came with us in case of snakes or wild dogs and a couple of times per year i was required to shoot at cans with each one. I wasn't interested in them and didn't like shooting them, but understood her desire for me to feel comfortable using them 'just in case'. We often took long road trips to visit family and would stop to nap in rest areas for a few hours. The small handgun was always beside the driver's seat. It was the 70s and early 80s and nothing was locked. 22 in the nightstand drawer, 38 in a dresser drawer, and shotgun behind her bedroom door - all loaded and ready. It didn't seem weird; it was just what my mom did to try to keep us safe.
