A teenager who killed two students and two teachers in a shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia has been sentenced to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole. Sixteen-year-old Colt Gray had pleaded guilty Friday to charges including murder in the Sept. 4, 2024, shooting that also left several others wounded. Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm handed down the sentence Tuesday after hearing testimony and considering evidence from both sides. Gray was 14 at the time of the shooting and was charged as an adult. Investigators testified that Gray idolized other mass shooters and studied their methods before carrying out the attack.
