And cnn has learned that father telling investigators he bought that gun for his son as a Holiday President , which would make the purchase just months after authorities contacted the family all in thats the Gating School Shooting threats. Im Kaitlan Collins and this is the source authorities in georgia tonight, wasting no time because just a day after that Mass Shooting at apalachee High School in winder, georgia, the father of the 14yearold Suspect is now facing charges of his own he is charged with the following four counts of involuntary manslaughter to counts of Seconddegree Murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children mr. Gray, these charges stem from mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son, cole to possess a weapon our Law Enforcement Team tonight confirms this is just the second time a parent of an accused School Shooter has been charged in relation to the crime. The first of course, the parents of the michigan School Shooter in 2021, Ethan Crumbleys parents were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in both sentence to a decade in prison. Remember the judge in that case lamented about the Warning Signs and missed opportunities they had to prevent what their son did and a reminder of just how young the gunman, the accused gunman in this shooting is. Look at him, hear the Barrow County Sheriffs Office Today released his booking photo photo. Colt gray is now facing four counts of Felony Murder Tonight are expecting his initial Court Appearance to happen tomorrow morning. And authorities say that while being questioned, he told investigators, quote, i did it cnns ryan young is on the ground in winder, georgia. We just got an update from officials, ryan, what more are you learning on the ground about the remarkable News Tonight that the father or has now been arrested as well yeah, absolutely. Kaitlan. Look, weve worked covered these stories before i can tell you investigators from the inside of in very angry about some of the details theyve been able to discover over the last few hours. Theyve been working this nonstop. Look, we reported earlier that in a nearby county, Jackson County, that there was that report that happened in investigators stopped by at that point colin gray, the father, indicated to investigators yes, there were guns inside the house, but there was no unsupervised access to those guns. Its after that that investigators tell us that apparently for a Holiday Gift this gun was purchased and then say ar Arplatform Style Weapon that was apparently broken down into a backpack and then brought into the school. So that is the Big Question now because investigators are trying to figure out how did the gun and make it into school. Theyre going through the video. There searching exactly what happened. But i can tell you they are so angry at the fact that this gun was purchased just a few months ago, Jackson County schools was put on alert, but he transferred to the Barrow County School System then theres that whole mix up where in terms of how many days did he actually attends school . We do know on tuesday, he reported that he had anxiety, went to the Counselors Office and then of course a couple of days later, that fatal shooting that happened that has left this community torn apart with all this happening, even right now, there are more than a dozen people standing right behind me at this memorial that has been gathering steam throughout the day because people have been arriving here nonstop and reflecting about how much they he loved this school and this community. People were shocked that the arrest happened so quickly. Now, what i want to tell you is not only to the gbi, not tell us what the sheriff where was the Father Arrest and we spent time outside the home today, talk to neighbors. Neighbors said they had just moved in recently because we know he transferred schools were still trying to find out those details. And when he i have is first Court Appearance is something that were still tracking at this very hour, caitlin. Yeah. And it was good to hear from officials. They do believe all the victims who were in the hospital who are wounded are expected to make her her cover some of them already released. Brian young, keep us updated with what youre hearing on the ground for more on this arrest tonight. Joining me is the former Deputy Director of the fbi, Andrew Mccabe and cnns chief Law Enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller. And john, when you when you look at how quickly this happened tonight, this came out and we came out right before we heard from officials, they come out, they said the father knowingly allowed his son to possess this weapon he said they had probable cause. What could that look like . That could look like a couple of things which is one, an interview with the father where he was where he we are told by our sources disclose to them that he bought this gun, that he made it a gift and it is likely in that conversation that they pressed him on. What were the conditions of access to that gun, but then there is the wild card, which we have less visibility into, which is the sheriff told cnn today, told Isabella Rosalas that when the 14yearold Suspect sat down, he started talking, was read his Miranda Rights and has continued talking so we also have to assume that some of the information they had about what level of access he had to how he got access to it, how he got access to ammunition and loaded it likely came from him i mean, that speaks to the power of also having the sun in the dad both to speak to them. And andra, when you when you look at this and you heard what investigators were saying at that Press Conference just a few moments ago. I mean, this is the only second time that we know of where a parent has been arrested in direct relation to a the School Shooting carried out by their child. What stood out to you from what you heard from officials well, its an incredible story that weve learned throughout the course of the day today, its certainly seems justified, right . I think anyone whos been following the Story Learning that the father basically armed the sanaa few wants to go after receiving he needs concerns about alleged threats to the school. Its just absolutely horrifying. But we have to remember that so far with what little we know about the information that police actually have right now, its hard to say whether or not this is a case that will stand up to the sort of legal scrutiny that we saw in the michigan case. The michigan case against the families. You remember kaitlan in that case, you had situation very rare situation where the parents knew two things right before the shooting took place. One, that their son had a weapon they provide it to him and to that he was experiencing this mental Distress And School and having these very violent writings and calm comments in his notebook, there were called into school to address that, he actually had the gun in his backpack during that meeting so they knew that very close in time to when the shooting took place. So far, we dont have that same sort of temporal connection that we know of yet between what the father knew in the days and hours leading up to the shooting. But i suspect that georgia would not have indicted him unless they have, as john suggested, some pretty solid information. Yeah. Its a huge step by the Georgia Bureau of investigations and join, we have this audio of when investigators went and spoke with the dad this is 2023 when the student was still the shooter was 13yearsold at the time, and there have been threats made online. They went to investigate it. And this is what the dad said to them about weapons and the presence of them inside the house . Yeah. Ive walked with they are having Theres Nothing loaded, but they are we were actually we do a lot of shooting, we do out there on he shot his first year this year so okay im pretty much in shock. Maybe as oscillator. Well, come old off to be even really honest with event as what was said i. Mean that conversation happens and seven months later, eight months later, he buys him an ar 15 for christmas yes so that is that is quite bizarre. But if you look at the history here go back to the newtown, Connecticut Massacre of those little children in their first clade classrooms. This was a boy who was going through dealing with mental problems. His mother bought him that rifle and they went shooting together. It was what they do to bond and he took that he killed her and then killed those children remember newport news, virginia, the firstgrader, a sevenyearold, went in and shot his teacher with a pistol. That mom was charged for not safeguarding that gun in a way that he couldnt get to it so this is going to become a recurring theme. And i believe that the charging of parents with these extraordinarily serious charges that convictions we saw with the crumbley the 21 months that the first Graders Mom served for child endangerment, what well see in this case well start to send a warning to parents that this is not a joke about locking up these guns. What are the Gun Storage laws in georgia . There lacks if i recall, if and georgia has very liberal Gun Laws for instance, Kaitlan Possession of a rifle by a person under 18 it is not particularly unlawful purchase of a rifle require somebody to be 18, 21 for a handgun. But theres no Permit Process and if theyre at home and their parents give them permission, if theyre on a firing range, even handguns become legal. So its a state where as andy pointed out, one of the challenges is going to going to get these charges to stick by showing there was compelling reasons to know that having access to that gun by this kid in his State Of Mind was a clear and present danger. And Andrew Mccabe dad has been charged tonight with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of Seconddegree Murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children. Why is it really two counts of Seconddegree Murder when obviously as we know, there are four victims here yeah, thats a really good question. Kaitlan, i dont i dont have the answer to that one off the top my head, im not an expert on georgia state law, but those charges all represent different approaches to holding him responsible for these deaths they are charges that would allow for the conviction of someone holding Somebody Accountable for death for less than what you see in a traditional Homicide Prosecution of prosecution like murder with malice aforethought. These are charges that open up the possibility of convicting someone for engaging in reckless conduct or criminally negligent conduct. So im not sure about what i just those two. But certainly youre seeing an array of charges here to open the opportunity to potentially get a conviction based on something less than the traditional Homicide Standard for conviction condition, something along the reckless or negligent levels and knew you were just mentioning Ethan Crumbley and the Warning Signs that were so clearly present that case in michigan before before he shot up his school, don i mean, that exist here to the look at what his family is telling the washington Tim Post an ad saying he was begging for help from everybody around him, the adults around him fail to. His grandfather was saying something similar to the New York times. We know that investigators who were searching the home found writings in his room referencing School Shootings, referencing what happened at Marjory Stoneman douglas. I mean, the signs were there. Its not just that no one had any idea. And i think that this this combines with what the grandfather said when he talked about the conditions at home, the fact that his father was abusive, not physically abusive, but screamed and yelled and things were a very high pitch a very difficult divorce. He said, but im telling you the environment he lived in. You put somebody in a situation like that for ten or 11 years and remember, were talking about a kid whos 13 and then 14. Guess whats going to happen . Nothing good. A lot of Family Members saw the situation developing there. Yeah. I mean, just so many questions about what everyone knew. John miller, Andrew Mccabe. Thank you both and tonight, i do want to note weve been talking a lot about the shooter and about his father understandably. So given the News Tonight, but i also want to remember the four victims of yesterdays shooting again tonight, 14yearold student, mason schermerhorn, 14yearold, Christian Angulo and the teachers at that school, Richard Aspinwall and christina irimie, of course, thinking of their families, their friends, their Loved Ones on this night.

Were going to be joined by a criminal Defense Attorney on whether those charges could hold up in court plus there are some big news in the Trump Election Interference case.
