Teen Accused in Deadly Apalachee High School Shooting in Georgia Set for Plea and Sentencing Hearing

Police say two Flock safety cameras were destroyed in Albany's Dougherty County as investigators look into criminal property damage.

  • On Friday, July 24, 2026, South Georgia police are investigating the apparent explosion of two Flock safety cameras in Albany's Doherty County, while accused gunman Colt Gray prepares for sentencing in Barrow County over the 2024 Apalachee High School shooting.
  • The 2024 attack at Apalachee killed four people—two students and two teachers—leaving nine others injured and prompting the community to seek accountability as Gray, who was 14 at the time, faces court proceedings.
  • Defense attorney Joshua Schiffer explained the hearing will feature victim impact statements and mitigation details about Gray's upbringing, as the court determines whether he will ever qualify for parole.
  • Gray faces 55 total counts, including four counts of felony murder, and will avoid a jury trial after defense attorneys and prosecutors failed to reach a sentencing agreement.
  • Colin Gray, the teen's father, was convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for providing the weapon and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 28th.
