Colin Gray, father of the suspected Apalachee High School shooter, was arrested and charged with multiple counts of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree murder, and cruelty to children after allegedly buying his son an AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas gift.

His son, Colt Gray, 14, is accused of using the weapon to kill four people and injure nine others in a school shooting in Georgia.

Authorities stated that Colin knowingly allowed his son to possess the weapon, potentially facing 10 to 30 years in prison for the charges, the U.S. Sun has reported.

The victims include teachers Cristina Irimie and Richard Aspinwall, and students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo.
