Ga. high school shooting suspect warned he will face life in prison as he appears for first time
A shackled Georgia school shooting suspect Colt Gray appeared in court for the first time Friday — followed soon after by his dad — after he allegedly massacred two students and two teachers at his high school.
The 14-year-old alleged gunman, dressed in green prison garb, faced Barrow County Court for a brief bond hearing after being charged as an adult with four counts of murder over Wednesday’s rampage at Apalachee High School.
The teen, who is being held at the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center, stared straight ahead with his shaggy blonde hair obscuring his face as the judge initially informed him he could face the death penalty if convicted.
Gray, who did not enter a plea, was escorted from the court with his wrists and ankles shackled after his lawyer declined to seek bail.
But Judge Currie Mingledorff quickly hauled Gray back to the court to correct himself, telling the youth he wouldn’t be eligible for the death penalty given he is younger than 18 years old and, instead, could face life in prison.
