A grand jury has indicted both a Georgia teenager and his father after the mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder on Sept. 4. Georgia media outlets report that the Barrow County grand jury has charged 14-year-old Colt Gray with a total of 55 counts including murder, aggravated assault and cruelty to children.
La Nina could soon arrive.
Both are scheduled to appear for arraignment on Nov. 21, when each would formally enter a plea. Colin Gray is being held in the Barrow County jail. Colt Gray is charged as an adult but is being held in a juvenile detention center in Gainesville. Neither has sought to be released on bail and their lawyers have previously declined comment.
Investigators have said the freshman carefully plotted the shooting at the 1,900-student high school northeast of Atlanta. A Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent testified that he left a notebook in his classroom with step-by-step handwritten instructions for how to prepare for the shooting. It included a diagram of his second-period classroom and his estimate that he could kill as many as 26 people and wound as many as 13 others, writing that he’d be “surprised if I make it this far.
After Colt Gray asked his mother to put him in a “mental asylum,” the family arranged to take him on Aug. 31 to a mental health treatment center in Athens that offers inpatient treatment, but the plan fell apart when his parents argued about Colt’s access to guns the day before and his father said he didn’t have the gas money, an investigator said.
