The GBI agent testified that Colin Gray did not seem surprised when investigators informed him about the shooting. Colin reportedly told agents that he had been trying to get help for Colt, though the agent noted that Colin showed no visible signs of remorse for the events at Apalachee High School during the interview.

After hearing the agents' testimony, the judge found probable cause to bring Colin Gray to trial.

There is a lot of info in this article I haven't seen elsewhere yet: MSN

Investigators have said the teenager carefully plotted the shooting at the 1,900-student high school northeast of Atlanta. A Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent testified that the boy left a notebook in his classroom with step-by-step handwritten instructions 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.”

Additional paragraphs describe how they shooter had a panic/anxiety attack at school on Aug 14 in counseling office; how the father purchased " ammunition, a gun sight and other shooting accessories, " in August; how the shooter was supposed to go to in-patient treatment on Aug 31, but an argument between parents over gun access the day before caused the father to not take him saying he didn't have gas...

Both are scheduled to appear for arraignment on Nov. 21, when each would formally enter a plea.

*insert long litany of swear words* As a mom who has had to take her now adult son to inpatient several times, I feel so much rage at the father. When your kid needs help, you go...right now. Given how few beds there are for adolescent mental health inpatient, if there is a bed available and waiting for your kid you RUN there--you've been given a blessing. And if your kid is actually asking to go to inpatient, you go right then no matter what. Kids generally don't ask to go to inpatient just for funsies--it's unpleasant as all heck, and teens know that from peers and media.

No gas or no money for gas--bet if he'd called the grandparents, they would have Venmo'd him the $$. Bet he could have found something in house to sell on Facebook Marketplace to get some quick cash. Clearly he somehow got gas sometime between that day and the shooting and still didn't take his kid.

Thank you both! This Washington Post article is so worth reading. Information that is not found anywhere else yet. All I had to do was give my email address and make a password for a free account. I wish I could quote this article!!
Suffice it to say he suffered at the hands of both parents, was crying out for help, and was failed repeatedly over years and years. Does not excuse what he did, but it does explain why the father is being tried for his contributions to this mess.

In an Aug. 18 electronic message seeking help from a counseling service, according to Wednesday testimony, Colin Gray wrote of his son: “We have had a very difficult past couple of years and he needs help. Anger, anxiety, quick to be volatile. I don’t know what to do.”
[snip]
Colt’s mother, Marcee Gray, who lives separately, told investigators that she had argued with Colin Gray in August, asking him to secure his guns and restrict Colt’s access. Instead, over time, he bought the boy ammunition, a gun sight and other shooting accessories, records show.
MSN

this right here tells everything about why I think it is appropriate that Colin is charged as he is. On August 18 he messaged that his son was quick to be volatile, angry, anxious. And yet he bought the kid a new gun sight, gun accessories (including a a larger magazine for his gun and tactical vest) and ammunition. just WTF was he thinking?? and then when they finally have help lined up he can't be bothered to take his kid, who he professes to be concerned about, to the inpatient program they had finally gotten him into?

Make it make sense sir.

The father of a 14-year-old boy accused of carrying out a deadly mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia pleaded not guilty on Thursday to the charges against him.

Colin Gray was not in court, but his lawyers told the judge during a brief hearing that their client pleads not guilty and waived formal arraignment. It's common in Georgia for defendants to enter a plea and waive arraignment.

Investigators also said that the alleged shooter made a "shrine" to school shooters in his room, and hung a picture of the Parkland shooter, who killed 17 people at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. Their testimony revealed his father was aware of his obsession with school shooters, and that the teenager had even discussed the Parkland shooting with his grandmother around a week before the shooting.
