The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of Colin Gray, the father of a teenager suspected in the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School.

Authorities believe these charges stem from his involvement in allowing his son access to the weapon used in the shooting. The suspected shooter was given a gun, AR-15 style rifle, by his father last December as a gift.

“His charges are directly connected with the actions of his son and allowing him to possess a weapon,” Chris Hosey, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, told reporters during a press briefing on Thursday evening.
