- Colin Gray admitted giving his then-14-year-old son the assault rifle used in the September 2024 attack at Apalachee High School.
- A jury found Colin Gray guilty on 27 counts in March 2026 after deliberating for fewer than two hours.

- On July 30, 2026, Judge Nicholas Primm sentenced the father to a total of 15 years with concurrent terms and described the case as the first of its kind in Georgia and the second he knew of nationwide.
He is the reason four people are dead, seven are injured and countless others traumatized. And he is the reason a 16-year-old boy was sentenced two days ago to the rest of his life in prison.— Barrow County District Attorney Brad Smith said during the sentencing hearing.
