Prosecutors say Colin Gray gave his son, Colt Gray, the gun used in a deadly shooting at Apalachee High School in September 2024.

A Jackson County deputy testified that the year before the shooting, he spoke with Colin Gray about an FBI tip that Colt Gray had threatened to shoot up a school.

Prosecutors argue it was after that discussion that Colin Gray purchased the gun and gifted it to his teenage son.
