Court documents indicate teen in Apalachee High School mass shooting to change plea later this month
The hearing could end a case that drew attention after prosecutors said his father gave him the rifle used in the attack.
- Colt Gray, the teen accused of the 2024 Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, will appear in court on July 24 for a "non-negotiated" plea and sentencing hearing, according to court documents.
- Now 16, Gray faces 55 counts, including felony murder and malice murder, for the September 4, 2024, campus attack that killed students Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, and teachers Cristina Irimie and Richard Aspinwall.
- Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm ordered the trial moved to Columbia County near Augusta to ensure an impartial jury, setting a July 15 deadline for the defendant to enter a guilty plea.
- This development follows the conviction of his father, Colin Gray, who was found guilty in March of 27 charges, including second-degree murder, for providing the AR-style rifle used in the mass shooting.
- The defendant faces up to 180 years in prison for the 55 counts, with the upcoming hearing expected to extend into the week following the July 24 appearance, according to court documents.
