As a Georgia high school reels from the mass shooting that left two students and two teachers dead, details have emerged that paint a picture of the “hostile” and gun “obsessed” homelife of suspected shooter, Colt Gray.
The 14-year-old has been charged in the deaths of students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and teachers Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53 in Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder. And now, so has his father, Colin Gray.
Colt Gray was reportedly “obsessed” with mass school shootings, and investigators quizzed him last year over online threats made about a school shooting.
His dad owned up to having guns in the family home, telling an investigator in FBI audio footage last year: “There’s nothing – nothing loaded. But they are [in the house]. We actually do a lot of shooting, we do a lot of deer hunting. He shot his first deer this year.”
And when authorities searched the suspect’s bedroom at his home this week, they found documents believed to be written by him that referenced the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, where Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people and wounded 17 others. Law enforcement sources told The New York Times the teen was “obsessed” with the shooting.
Meanwhile, Gray’s parents were going through a bitter separation and custody battle and the family was on the radar of the department of family and children’s services, the GBI said at a press conference.
It is understood the teenager was living with his father during the split, according to the BBC.
