Colt Gray plea and sentencing hearing set for July 24 in Apalachee High School shooting case
A judge has scheduled a non-negotiated plea and sentencing hearing for July 24 for Colt Gray, 16, who was charged as an adult with 55 counts including murder in the September 4, 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia that killed two students and two teachers. Gray had previously pleaded not guilty but court documents indicate he is set to change his plea. His father, Colin Gray, was convicted in March on charges including second-degree murder for providing his son the rifle used in the attack.
