Colin Gray Trial: Day 4 Focuses on Warnings, DFCS History, Discord Threat and Father's Response

Prosecutors say Colin Gray ignored multiple warnings including a 2022 FBI tip and school issues before the Sept. 4, 2024, shooting that left four dead and nine injured.

  • On Thursday, prosecutors focused on years of warning signs and said Colin Gray, defendant and father, enabled access to the rifle in the September 4, 2024 Apalachee High School shooting, facing nearly 30 charges.
  • School records show misbehavior, suspensions, attendance gaps, and DFCS referrals, while a 2022 FBI tip about a Discord account was investigated but not corroborated, prosecutors say.
  • Forensic examiners showed phones, sent preservation requests to tech firms, and police played body-camera footage for jurors during the trial.
  • Defense attorneys argue court recessed Thursday, and Gray did not foresee the attack, citing his statements to deputies; testimony resumes Friday at 9 a.m. in the trial.
  • Multiple agencies' involvement shows prosecutors and commentators frame the case as part of a broader push to test parental responsibility and involve multiagency probes, including the FBI, Jackson County, and Gwinnett County law enforcement.
