WHAT HAPPENED
A US teenager, Colt Gray, 16, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing four people at Apalachee High School in Georgia. According to News - South China Morning Post, Gray pleaded guilty to carrying out the September 2024 attack, in which two 14-year-old pupils and two teachers were shot dead, and nine others were wounded. The sentence was handed down by Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm.
Gray was 14 years old at the time of the attack and was charged as an adult. He had used a gun given to him by his father as a Christmas present to carry out the shooting. The sentencing brings an end to the legal proceedings in the case, with Gray now set to spend the rest of his life in prison.
The case highlights the ongoing issue of school shootings in the US and the debate around gun control and access to firearms. The fact that Gray was given the gun used in the attack by his father as a gift raises questions about responsible gun ownership and the role of parents in preventing such tragedies.
