The father of the mass shooting suspect accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student, is accused of killing two students and two teachers with an AR-style rifle in the Wednesday shooting. Nine more people were hospitalized.

One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present.

    Thank you!

    ETA: I’m honored to be weird in that I take the time and trouble to educate people who may be being abused, rather than the the kind of weird that’s so heavily invested in down voting an educational comment that less abuse victims would see it. The last kind of weird is the kind of weird that reminds me of, “they let you do it!” And “binders of women!” The kind of weird that suggests someone is uncomfortable with these kinds of abuse being highlighted.
