WINDER, Ga. (AP) — The father of the teenager accused of opening fire at a Georgia high school, killing four people and wounding nine, has been arrested on various charges including second-degree murder, authorities said Thursday.

Colin Gray, 54, the father of Colt Gray, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a social media post. No other details were immediately provided, but a news conference was planned for later in the day.

Was this kid in the midst of some transgender nonsense? If so what role did his teachers and parents have?

Funny, my dad gave me a .22 semiautomatic for Christmas when I was 10. That was in 1956 and I’ve yet to shoot anyone. The rifle wasn’t locked in a safe, but kept in a closet.

It was preventable.

But the father was not the only adult responsible.

If law enforcement had this kid on the “radar”, then what is the purpose of “radar”?

Law enforcement has become “lawfare”.

Authoritarian rule is more about protecting those who are in authority than protecting the citizenry at large.

The mugshot would suggest gender confusion issues, yes. The parents absolutely should be held accountable . You don’t hand a freakin weapon to a kid who made threats

This kid posted threats to shoot up schools last year, which got the FBI and police involved. Cops told Dad to keep guns securely away from kid, and Dad promised he would. Then, months later, Dad goes and buys kid his every own gun for Christmas.

What, exactly, about the mugshot suggests ‘gender confusion’ to you?

Lots of boys have long hair, and have for about the last 60 or more years of contemporary history.

Sometimes kids have mental issues that have nothing to do with ‘gender confusion’.

Have a look at this pic of him he posted of himself.

Dad should be on the hook if he was warned, ignored the warning and even went so far as buy his kid the murder weapon. It’s not that hard to lock up firearms or keep them out of even a clever teenager’s reach.

I can’t see your picture, or know if it’s legitimate.

I guess dad thought if he gave his son a gun, he would stop being a girl.
