The charges against the father of the 14-year-old suspect are “directly connected” to his son’s actions, the GBI director said.

“His charges are directly connected with the actions of his son and allowing him to possess a weapon,” GBI Director Chris Hosey said.

Hosey would not say whether Gray gave his son the gun, just that he “knowingly allowed” him to possess it.

Colin Gray’s arrest comes months after James and Jennifer Crumbley became the first parents ever to be prosecuted and convicted for a school shooting committed by their child.

Gray, the father of the Apalachee High School shooting suspect, is alleged to have knowingly allowed his son to possess a weapon, the director of the GBI said.

In the Crumbley’s case, the parents were convicted of involuntary manslaughter and other counts for the school shooting carried out by their then-15-year-old son, Ethan.

The suspect was armed with an AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle, arrest warrants for the 14-year-old say.
