The father of the school shooter in Georgia, Colin Gray, has just been arrested and faces multiple charges, including four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
Earlier he reportedly admitting to giving the gun used in the shooting to his son as a Christmas gift.
Here’s more from CNN:
The father of Colt Gray has been arrested in connection with the shooting at Apalachee High School, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Colin Gray, age 54, has been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children.
Wow. I didn’t see this coming but since the shooter is only 14 years-old, I guess that’s the basis for charges. We’ll soon find out because the Georgia Bureau of Investigation will give an update at 8pm and they are expected to address the arrest of the father.
We’ll bring you the latest when we get it.

Dana Loesch added this. I’m not sure where she got it from but figured I’d throw it in anyway…
GA killer’s dad was reportedly abusive, obviously unresponsive to his son’s instability, denied previous threats and enabled. Mom not in the picture. What a mess.
