Bodycam footage released shows police interviewing Colt Gray and his father over a year before the 14-year-old allegedly shot and killed four people at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Colt has been charged with four felony murder counts, while his father faces multiple charges related to the incident. The video reveals that the pair had been visited by law enforcement in response to online threats of a school shooting linked to Colt’s social media account. Despite guns being accessible to Colt, his father claimed to be teaching him gun safety. The account username referenced the Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza. The father mentioned that Colt was struggling at school and had previously been evicted from their home, causing family separation. Days before the shooting, Colt’s mother called the school counselor about an emergency regarding her son. She rushed to the school upon receiving a text from him. The release of the video comes amidst a trend of parents being held accountable for their children’s involvement in mass shootings. Marcee Gray’s involvement in the events leading up to the incident remains a topic of investigation. The case highlights the importance of early intervention and monitoring of concerning behavior, as well as the complex dynamics within families involved in such tragedies.
