Georgia school shooter had a chaotic childhood and was fixated on mass killings, psychologist says
Gray pleaded guilty to 55 charges, leaving Judge Primm with full discretion over a prison sentence after emotional victim testimony.
- On Monday, 16-year-old Colt Gray returned to Barrow County Superior Court as his sentencing hearing resumed, with Judge Nicholas Primm to decide between life in prison with or without parole.
- Gray pleaded guilty Friday to 55 charges stemming from the September 4, 2024, attack at Apalachee High School that killed four and wounded nine others, avoiding a full criminal trial.
- During Friday's testimony, Sarah Beaver described how her son Jaxson carries 'eight to nine pieces of metal' permanently embedded from the shooting, while Ismael Angulo Jr. called the ongoing trauma 'a very painful one.'
- Survivors and relatives directly addressed Gray in court, with Alanna Schermerhorn-Wallace calling him a 'coward' and Nautica Walton stating, 'I hate everything about you,' as families urged life without parole.
- As proceedings continue with additional evidence, Judge Primm will eventually issue a ruling that concludes the criminal case, closing one chapter while survivors face the long road of healing from the Apalachee tragedy.
