Newsman: The Georgia Apalachee High School shooting suspect 14-year-old Colt Gray is expected to face additional charges besides four counts of murder charges accounting for the injured victims, officials said Friday. On Wednesday, Two 14-year-old students and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. Nine others-eight students and one teacher were wounded and hospitalized.
The shooting at Apalachee High School claimed the two 14-year-old student’s lives- Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, as well as 53-year-old math teacher Cristina Irimie and 39-year-old assistant football coach Richard Aspinwall, who also taught math.
Authorities say Cristina Irimie was celebrating her birthday with her students the day she was shot and killed, according to a family friend.Injured nine others includes seven of them – six students and a teacher – were shot and two other students – suffered other injuries, the GBI said.
The gun used in Wednesday’s shooting was an AR-platform weapon, four people were killed and Nine others were injured according to the Georgia law enforcement authority.
Prosecutors allege Gray fired an AR-style rifle on campus Wednesday morning, killing four people and injured nine others.
Because of his young age, the maximum penalty Gray could face is life in prison with or without parole, Judge Currie Mingledorff told the teenager in court. Gray’s father, Colin Gray, 54, faces a maximum sentence of 180 years in prison for four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.
An arrest warrant for Colin Gray alleges he gave his son a firearm “with knowledge he was a threat to himself and others.” He declined to enter a plea at his first court appearance Friday, and neither him nor his son have asked for bond to be set at their hearings.
In 2005, the US Supreme Court ruled no one can be put to death for crimes committed before the age of 18.
