Teen gets life without parole for killing four in US school shooting

A 16-year-old Georgia teenager, Colt Gray, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing four people and injuring nine others during a 2024 school shooting at Apalachee High School. The shooting occurred on September 4, 2024, when Gray used an assault-style rifle obtained from his father, Colin Gray, who was later convicted of 27 charges related to providing the weapon despite known warning signs. During sentencing, Judge Nicholas Primm criticized Gray for appearing unfazed by his actions and for idolizing school shooters. Prosecutors argued that Gray's motive was to gain notoriety within an online 'true crime' community, while defense attorneys claimed his violent behavior stemmed from a troubled upbringing marked by parental neglect and substance abuse.
