Georgia school shooter Colt Gray was bullied by classmates who called him gay, his father told detectives in an interview last year.
Colin Grey, 54, made the claims when he was interviewed by the Jackson County Sheriff's office after the FBI received a tip that his son had threatened a shooting at his middle school.
'It was very difficult for him to go to school and not get picked on,' Colin Gray told an investigator, according to a transcript of the conversation obtained by DailyMail.com.
The father added: 'It went from one thing to another... I was trying to get him on the golf team... [they were like], "Oh, look, Colt's gay. He's dating that guy."
'Just ridiculed him day after day after day.'
Gray, 14, is charged as an adult in the deaths of Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Cristina Irimie, 53. Nine people were also hurt in Wednesday’s attack at Apalachee High school in Winder, outside of Atlanta.

Soon you too can be tried for murder….Sad and despicable.
Disagree.
No. I was defending my life. Why would you say defending one’s life is murder?
Should everybody who depends themselves be up for murder?

He's not a white gun nut. He's a victim of homophobia.
If he can make the narrative stick, the media and law will do a flip, and view him with sympathy. "This poor boy is also a victim. He didn't kill anyone. Homophobia killed those students."
I don't think so. I think homosexuals are more likely to be attracted to straight men, and want to "convert" them.
I have heard that many gay men hate women.
My husband went through same bulllying and never murdered his oppressors. You need to get a grip and scale down your rhetoric. At least seek help!
We know more about this shooter than we do about the Trump assaassin.
When one has PTSD, there is no counselling that can change it. Just be glad that I am in control enough to remain harmless.
If what I say frightens you on any level, you should rethink your minimalization on the harm that bullying can do to people. It is all fun and games until the bullied has had enough and lashes out, right?
I am just truthful of what has happened to me and it made me become.
This kid was not “defending” himself. Pretty sure the families who lost their loved ones would want to definitely kick your ass for these comments. This is wholly inappropriate and should be sent to viking kittie land…DELETE
You should be under lock and key.
Gay Gray ?
He might have been teased based on his name.
The facts remain to be seen on that point. Again, you are minimalizing the harm that bullying can do. You don’t care if the suffers internally for a lifetime, as long as he sits down shuts up.
That’s part of the problem. We are willing to sacrifice children in order to keep the peace of society.
That is why I am not sympathetic when a bully gets their comeuppance, however he gets it.
Why? Because I was bullied to the point of having PTSD?
Should we lock up vets?
You need to seek help for your mental issues. I choose not to align myself with crazy people.
I don’t care if you align yourself with me or not. But you are obviously one of the ones I said that were willing to sacrifice children to keep the peace in society.
Bullied children deserve what they get, some here might say.
You are a weak excuse for a human being… grow up, get over it and live your life. Truly seek help! If you are gaslighting then I will understand, but even so the posts from you are negative and harmful.
Sod off
Yes, I was a weak human being, so I got what I deserved. There is no gaslighted from me, but there is minimalization of the murder of children from you. It would not surprise me if you were fine with bullied children hanging themselves. They deserved it, because they were too weak to defend themselves.
You sod off. You’re a heartless person who puts more weight on a bully’s life than you do on the bullied.
