Father of School Shooter Faces Sentencing | Salt Lake City News
Description
A father faces sentencing today after his son, a 16-year-old school shooter, killed four people in a 2024 attack — a crime prosecutors say was fueled by the father’s gift of a semiautomatic rifle. Prosecutors demand 80 years; defense seeks 10 years plus probation. Victims’ families plead for maximum punishment, calling the tragedy preventable. The shooter, Colt Gray, received life without parole after pleading guilty. His mental decline and disturbing photos of another shooter in his room add chilling context. This case marks one of the rarest instances in the U.S. where a parent faces criminal charges for their child’s school shooting.
