Father Sentenced in School Shooting | Lubbock News
Description
Colin Gray, the father of the Apalachee High School shooter, faces an 80-year sentence as prosecutors push for maximum punishment, while his defense seeks 10 years plus probation — with the judge’s verdict looming. This case marks a rare but growing trend: parents being criminally charged when their children commit school shootings. Gray was convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, charges rooted in cruelty and reckless conduct. Emotional victim impact statements painted a damning picture of parental failure, fueling the push for justice — and a sentence that could reshape how society holds parents accountable for their children’s violent acts.
