Georgia Teen Colt Gray Sentenced to Life Without Parole for 2024 School Shooting
Colt Gray, 16, pleaded guilty to 55 charges including four counts of murder for the September 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia that killed two teachers and two students and injured nine others. During sentencing, the prosecutor argued Gray planned the attack for fame and should never be paroled, while the defense described him as a vulnerable youth deserving hope. The judge ultimately sentenced Gray to life imprisonment without parole, responding to victims' families' calls for a severe penalty.
