Georgia school shooter's father sentenced to 15 years for providing gun

In a Georgia courtroom, a father was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for second-degree murder — not for pulling a trigger, but for placing a weapon in hands that would. The conviction of Colin Gray, whose son carried out the 2024 Apalachee High School shooting that killed four people, represents a rare and deliberate expansion of criminal accountability into the space of parental responsibility. American law has long struggled to draw the line between a child's autonomous violence and the conditions that made it possible; this sentence suggests that line may be moving.
