Colt Gray studied mass shooters before deadly attack on Georgia school
Before carrying out the deadliest school shooting in Georgia history at Apalachee High School, Colt Gray obsessively studied past school shooters and even sent money to the individual convicted of the Parkland shooting. Defense attorneys revealed this information to a jury on Monday. The attack, which occurred on September 4, 2024, resulted in the deaths of two students and two teachers, with several others injured. Gray had planned the attack to coincide with the anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida, the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. Attorneys highlighted Gray's fascination with school shootings, stating that he had been preparing for the act for some time. They also mentioned that Gray had expressed a desire to replicate the violence seen in previous mass shootings. The court proceedings have focused on the psychological state of Gray and the factors that led to his violent actions. The case has drawn significant attention due to its tragic implications for school safety and gun violence. As the trial continues, the community remains on edge, reflecting on the broader issues of mental health and gun control in America.
