US EditionGeorgia students recall horror of being shot as father of accused school shooter goes on trial
Four students testified about their injuries and trauma during the Sept. 4, 2024, school shooting; prosecutors say the father faces charges for providing the rifle despite warnings.
- On Feb. 17, 2026, students at the school testified they were shot during their algebra class two years ago.
- Prosecutors allege Colin Gray purchased the weapon despite prior warnings and an FBI tip traced to his home, and continued buying accessories and ammunition.
- Victims recounted immediate chaos and lasting harm as Melany Delira-Castaneda saw Colt Gray firing and later learned she was shot and hospitalized, while Nautica Walton, Taylor Jones, and Natalie Griffith described lasting injuries and surgeries.
- Gray has pleaded not guilty to nearly 30 charges, and the defense says he was unaware of his son's planning while prosecutors argue this case holds parents accountable.
- The case draws parallels to the Crumbley prosecutions, where James and Jennifer Crumbley were convicted and sentenced to 10 to 15 years, highlighting a nationwide trend of parental accountability efforts.
