Georgia school shooting suspect Colt Gray appeared in court for the first time Friday and was told he could face the death penalty if found guilty of massacring two students and two teachers at his high school.
The 14-year-old alleged gunman, dressed in green prison garb, faced Barrow County Court for his bond hearing after being charged as an adult with four counts of murder over Wednesday’s rampage at Apalachee High School.
The teen, who is currently being held without bond in Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center, stared straight ahead as the judge informed him of his potential punishment.
The baby-faced teen is accused of killing four and wounding nine others when he went on a rampage at his school in Winder, just outside Atlanta on Wednesday morning.
He was taken into custody just minutes after allegedly gunning down his victims and later told investigators “I did it” while being interrogated, Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith told CNN.
Investigators haven’t yet released a motive for the bloodshed.
They are scrambling to piece together if there were any additional warning signs after authorities first paid a visit to his home in May 2023 over a school shooting threat he’d made on social media, investigators said.
Meanwhile, Gray’s father has also since been charged in connection with the shooting.
The father had allegedly bought the AR-style assault rifle for Colt as a Christmas gift just months after cops interviewed the pair over the online threats, law enforcement sources told The Post.
“His charges are directly connected with the actions of his son and allowing him to possess a weapon,” said Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey.
His son has been charged with four counts of murder over the deaths of two 14-year-old students, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, as well as two teachers, Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53.
