- Colin Gray, the father of the 14-year-old student accused of opening fire at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia and killing four people told law enforcement in 2023 that his son was bullied, tormented and called "gay" by his classmates, Fox News reports.
The comments were made during a police interrogation of Colin Gray after the FBI alleged his then 13-year-old son Colt Gray was behind online school shooting threats.
In the transcripts obtained by Fox News, Colin Gray told law enforcement, “Colt’s gone through a lot… it just was very difficult for him to go to school and not get picked on by, you know, it went from one thing to another to, you know, he was talking to the couple friends he has.”
Colin Gray discussed the bullying further and said he was “ridiculed,” adding “I was trying to get him on the golf team… like ‘Oh look, Colt’s gay. He’s dating that guy.’ Just ridiculed him day after day after day.”
Colt and Colin Gray both face charges in connection with Wednesday’s shooting that killed two students and two teachers. Nine other people were also wounded in the attack.
The teen is charged with murder, while his father is accused of second-degree murder for providing his son with a semi-automatic AR 15-style rifle despite knowing his son “was a threat to himself and others.”
Hearings on Friday determined both father and son would remain jailed with no bond requested by their attorneys.
The next court date for the two is set for December.

"tormented by bullies"..... It was his SECOND day in school and it was a NEW school!!!! That is NOT the reason!
Thank you
He meant the last year of school.
This.
Well, he could have been bullied later in the year... he's just an eager beaver and trying to get out in front of the problem.
@@julienielsen4462WHATEVER although I don't agree with what he did BUT WHY hurt the people who hasn't bullied you
Now, the common cliche excuse to help soften the suspect. So his father knew he was dealing with bullies so he bought him a gun?
Yeah facilitated the crime
He had a gun bc he was hunting deer with his dad, there's a video on there deer hunt
@@SeriousGlitcher he had a gun because his dad is a moron
stop trying to project your ridiculous conclusions. You have no idea the motivations or facts of this case as none have been fully investigated nor released.
@@marlboroman71818 Blah blah blah.... All I hear is excuses for a person who made a choice to execute 4 people. We are over the mental health card.
How long was colt bullied? I do know most schools protect the bullies! Most children being bullied usually gives up and drops out! It's a massive problem because nothing is ever done to bullies!
can the parents press charges against bullies or their parents just crazy no one should put up with that
Exactly
@sharonbower5069 yep! That's what happened to me. I didn't drop out, but often when I was harassed or beat up I was asked "What did YOU DO to set those kids off?" So I just stopped reporting it and just learned to "take it."
I was bullied in school. I can tell you first hand, trying to stop the bullies just makes things worse. Teachers will do nothing and bullies will bully you more. You’re better off switching schools.
Please. Every boy in school has been called gay by other boys. It’s what they do. They’re insecure so any guy better looking than them must be gay. 😂
Only in America a father would give his 14yo son an AR-15 as a gift.. Amazingly stupid.
Wyte
I was also bullied because I was so poor and went to school smelling like a carton of cigarettes…I couldn’t go to my mom and tell her, because she was always absent.. my father had died from cancer …. I quit school as a freshman, got a job, moved in with friends and eventually got my own place while going to night school … what worse here is the DAD KNEW and he could have wrapped his arms around his son instead of handing him a rifle… I’m pro-gun, but this kid was failed-NO EXCUSE, I put this on the dad, the mom AND the kid.. we need to raise our kids that we shouldn’t give a damn who calls us names, we need to have parents who are present, like those that will never have their children again…it’s all tragic, but I think we were all bullied in some fashion, his anger was put to the wrong use and his father didn’t even see it.. God help this nation’s future 💔🇺🇸🙏
"Don't get your pleasure from my pain "...a victim of bullying that affected me long after I graduated
Poor, living in the poorest housing area of town, no new clothes, no cellphone, no money but I never wanted to hurt a soul, this is just different
It's all a bunch of excuses. The boy was not raised right. Kids that are raised in a bad environment turn out bad. He is a killer he should be in prison. No excuses
i knew this kid would be bullied. not that it makes it okay but parents ALSO need to be responsible for their bullying children and speaking about that so we can get to the root
He wasn't bullied.
If anything his parents are the bullies and he's a product of them.
White supremacist websites are never the problem😒
No one asks why the teachers did not pick up on the bullying behaviour by others. Educator here.
@@brunoterlingen2203 The educators facilitate the abuse.
Lol you guys aren’t educators get off your high horse. You’re babysitting and pushing propaganda. At best.
It was his second day at that school.
@@michelleannhull And he was probably getting bullied again and likely thought "Nope. Not going through this again!"
Its cuz bully kids have bully parents.
I have 3 daughters I never ever accepted them to bullying anyone parents of those demons are guilty. These happen so much here in USA because parents don’t teach their children to respect others
This kid wasn't bullied. He was just a psycho
@@budgiecat9039 you don't know that.
Happens everywhere.
true
I was bullied in school just for being Black, and the only time I ever picked up a weapon was when I enlisted in the U.S. Army to serve my country so y'all can miss me with that bull$#!+...
@@vernonhampton6973 perfectly said. Life really starts after you get out of school. I’m old and just barely remember high school enough to know I did attend lol
Thank you for your service
Sorry that you experienced racism & was mistreated! Thank you Sir for your Service to our Country!!!
Exactly who of us haven’t been bullied in life in some way shape or form , stop the BS and excuses there are none.
Nicely said thank you for your service
Instead of spending money on a gun, it would have been a better idea to spend the money on a therapist. You failed your son, your community, and the victims by your poor choices. You armed a deranged person.
My thoughts exactly, he had behavioral problems, he needed to have an assessment, put in an alternate school with limited students and staffed trained to deal with this. All school districts have special education departments that arrange to do so and it is paid for by the state. The parents did not have to do this, the school district should have. I was a Behavior Disorder Teacher and responsible for thirty students who were in the programs with different behavioral disorders. I also was a psychiatric nurse on a behavioral disorder on the psych ward with patients with anything from OCD to schizophrenia. The students I had in the program I managed, I visited parents and asked that their medications to be taken at school from the nurses offices as if the parents worked they would tell their children to take their medication whereas when taken at school, they had documentation. I made copies of my nursing manuals pages with descriptions of the disorders to teachers so they understood the disorder. The main thing is the school staff have the right to refer to the district behavioral specialist. This costs the parents nothing.
@@babsie1952I would think the school should have explained this to the dad. Apparently he was
up at the school for help, a Lot. Was the boy diagnosed for anything?
Was he on meds?
A Lot of those SSRI's make the problem Worse; even under a psychiatrist!
Some Drs. don't care; Not All teachers care.
This school staff Needs to be investigated, along with the school that he just transfered from.
The father didn't create a murderer. Look at your own comment and what you call people. You create murderers.
What makes him a deranged person? He is a "14yr old child",who snuck the gun outta the house without being noticed,,he somehow got the gun on school property without being seen,,he left the classroom to go get the gun from where he had it stashed,returned to the classroom, without being seen,,and had the door not auto locked,there would've been more than 4 killed,,way more!! Everything he did,was planned in advance and with thought! And he'll be called deranged,he'll be called a monster,,he'll be called sick,or evil,,,,,,he had intent in his mind,,,in some cases,the DAs office calls that Premeditated "!! He planned on doing exactly what he did!! Does it make him deranged?? Does it make him evil?? He planned on killing kids his age,and guaranteed he didn't think for a moment about not going thru with it.
Pretty much
Well that explains everything….
So take it out on innocent people instead ??
Sounds like you are a bully
Bullies are not innocent.
@@mahfuggaAgree, Bullies are terrible people!
He was innocent once too, this logic is stupid.
That'd be unequivocally wrong. There are options: report it, ignore it, or take them on. Option 3 comes with great risk but the day you're walking back home from school or soccer practice and notice that the bully is afraid of confronting you? Nothing beats that!
not excusing the shooter!!! but schools DO NOT handle bullying I have seen them allow it and then punish the abused ones, like they asked for it / it is rediculous Something has to change
My daughter was punched 3 times in the face before she hit back and she's the one that got kicked out for 2 days for defending her self so I agree with you on that we need to start holding the schools responsible for the bullying
OUR INGNORANT SOCIETY needs to change. IS A COLLECTIVE CASE OF INSECURITY. THIS CREATES BULLYING. When you know who you are and what you are... WHY??? WHY??? WHY??? does it bother you - that the other kid is or not like you??? (personal insecurity) THIS GOES FOR THE ADULTS TOO. I AM NOT SORRY. THIS SOCIETY IS TRASH.
Most of the teachers don't give a rip. There needs to be compassion for those bullied, and bullying needs to be dealt with. I'm sick of always hearing about how bad the bully problem is in public schools!😢
My sister, now 70, use to get picked on by kids after starting school as a small child. She would come home crying. My mom told her to stick up for herself. She did, and never had a problem again. She didn't start fights, but as she grewup, she didn't take nothing off nobody. I've saw her beat up a girl at school one day. IF she had to fight, she never lost. Since she was to years older then me, if someone messed with me, she'd beat Them up. But thankfully nobody ever bullied or picked on me. I always got along great with everyone.
WOW!!! He was new at that school.
Once he's in prison he will learn the true meaning of being bullied
He'll go there once he turns 18
I hope I'm wrong but my guess is they could put him in a psych ward for the criminally insane then announce him cured before he is age 40.
@@Shuntae-p9o He'll go when he's convicted, not when he turns 18. Prisons have a "Y.O. (youth offender) Program for kids usually until they are 21, and that section of the prison is WILDER than any other. He will be bullied WAY more in the Y.O. Program full of hyper insane teen bullies that have nothing to lose and are full of energy. The young ones are SO much more violent.
Sounds like you know what it is like to be bullied.
@@ConeshaBarrondo you?
How many home schooled children have went on rampages?
Good point none that I can recall
Welcome to life. You can not react to bullying by lethal weapons
can people stop bullying? Can't be that hard.
Bullies threaten those that they know that won't defend themselves.
And then the threatened becomes the threat?
Where is the unit of measurement being employed here?
If survival ends in living then I only see one loser here and he's free to continue to make life unlivable for everyone within a stones throw distance.
This does apply in Memphis, TN. The city that uses violence and anger as a solution, no accountability, and they hate facts.
Parents please teach your kids that bullying is not ok. Parents please take time to know your kids, take time to learn what happens when you are not around.
Here's the thing, kids are still gonna be bullies. That's a fact of life. But it's no excuse to take lives because your classmates are calling you names. The problem is kids are on their smartphones all day looking at social media instead of learning. Social media contributes to bullying, that is a fact. You cut kids off social media and take their phones when they go to class, you cut the problem at it's core. Instead of bullying they learn in the classroom like they should. Also it should also be up to the parents to monitor social media use at home. Monitor what you kids are seeing online, put parental controls on sites that promote gun violence and incel websites. If parents insist on buying their children guns, pass a law that says providing a minor with a gun under the age 21 should be a felony, and that the parent will face prison time up 25 years.
@@lorenagramajo2978 don’t trust the schools, if something happens to your child the school will not allow you to watch the video; they will claim privacy rights of other students. These teaches are mostly witches.
Well, I can tell you this I got picked on tortured, and I never crossed my mind to do something like that and I was in a home with guns
Also parents stop buying your troubled teens guns for Xmas. Get them a football instead of you want them to go out side more.....
@@richardcrainium9343 yes parents make sure you fill the stockings with books about mistreating others and playing the victim, since you guys have it all together add some shut your face to the coco..
He was only in this school for one full day before he committed the shooting. Bullied that bad in one day?? Put them both in prison for the rest of their lives.
By bullies, do you mean mom and dad? New school, new students, sorry your truth doesn’t add up!
You know how the media is. It was clear he was a threat to him self and the community but instead of holding him accountable and making him get help they made excuses because “ that’s their child , and their baby” it’s sad when these kind of people have clear indicators of hurting others in their communities and nobody does anything until it to late. The fact he was questioned by the FBI should’ve been enough for the district to consider him a high risk and not allow him into public school with other children but no. They didn’t take it serious and our children our husbands and wives and aunties and brother and sister are paying the price.
The kids in school never stop trolling, smearing others and bullying. I am a substitute teacher and they even try to bully me. Imagine!
The father made the comments LAST year, when Colt was investigated re the online posts. He probably moved schools because of the bullying 🤷🏼♀️.
@@michaelstetzer3144 sure, you guys are a dime a dozen; new school, new bullies.
THE KIDS (Bullies live on their roof - they did not ask to come into the world. ) SO, yes the parents are responsible.
Parents need to get a grip of the bully children, starts at home, it’s born at home and nurtured in the schools some teachers allow stupidity cultivate …. No excuses for the act of murder, but there is a lot of blame to go around
I agree his parents should have protected him better kids especially your own needs love and discipline and never give your kids access to guns their minds are not developed until a certain age and what the hell is wrong with the father and where's the Mother
Colt is the bully. His parents are bullies.
@@budgiecat9039 they are all victims , dude just didn’t wake up and decide to kill people he triggered to commit such acts of murder , horrible acts and needs to be punished to the extent of the law but there is a bigger picture the breakdown of morality in America
Kid was teased,picked on,called "gay"!!,,,,and daddy bought him a gun,BUT,the kid still had a choice,,if he's mentally or emotionally stable enough ,of sound mind to announce,or live life as a transgender,as he said he was,,then he is still equally the same in his decisions to not,pick up that gun,,,,hes not crazy,he's not insane,,,he planned this all in advance
My condolences to the families.
Tormented by bullies?? School year just started 2 DAYS EARLIER??? They bullied him that much in TWO DAYS???
school started early August in southern states
No he had several years to plan all of this out and how to keep his life because of a extremely weak justice system and judges
@@philliphall5198Yes this is exactly right!
Do you guys pay attention to anything? The father said this LAST year.
@@tkellzz that furthers my point, it’s a new year, he’s been in school for 2 days. I’m pretty sure nobody bullied him to this point in 2 days.
Everybody has tormentors in high school days ; no excuse
Not everyone can handle it! Also, some bullying can get VERY nasty. There has to be some kind of punishment for bullying ( not pulling a girl's ponytail...)
@QT-173 the FBI knew about the kid, why didn't they do anything?
@rlin2648 they did what they legally could which was inform the Sheriff's office. When spoken to, the kid denied it was him and the father said he wasn't around open fire arms. 7-8 months later he bought him one!
It is an excuse
There is no excuse to kill but so much more needs to be done about bullying. It's different these days. When we were kids it ended once school was over, now with social media people can harass you anytime they feel like it. It happens to my son and it kills me because there's not much I can do about other people's shitty kids

I was self motivated. My personality is different and background is different. I don't snap, i circumvent.
@@MarksREmarks However far you get pushed, no gun is necessary.
i agree but it is different these days where in past you may be bullied at school and that was it , didn’t continue at night from kids online, all weekend, there’s no escape. I hate bullies too and no excuse just an opportunity to show that t parents in general need to do a better job of speaking out against bullying, punishing your child if they are caught bullying and educating that there are people who are not mentally strong and can lead to this.. Again, does not make it okay but there are multiple factors that can be addressed and parents can def be more proactive. It’s very dangerous these days and kids don’t have support in most cases and it’s sad
Wait he then moved new school
Its bullying was self inflicted if it happened at all. Get sick of hearing this bully narrative!
Were you ridiculed in school to the point of lashing out at your enemies? Sucks to be demoralized. Dont F with people unless you arent sure how far someone would go for some revenge. Bullying is wrong, i believe it is the root of the problem.
He should have told someone and had a meeting with the counselors.
Sadly people with these kinds of issues are already getting picked on so the chances of him seeking help from any authority is low but he should have been getting help from his parents after the first threat
His emotional health did not just start. This is a perfect example parents completely ignoring serious emotional issues a child is experiencing.
Very sad
This has nothing to do with Bullies, and everything to do with Dad buying his Son an AR rifle AFTER he had made threats to kill his classmates.
Lots of people get bullied, but only murdering psychopaths raised by pathetic failure assed parents retaliate by shooting up a school.

The kids who were bullying the kid who killed the 4 kids and 9 others injured should of stopped from bullying anyone
The kids who bullied him last year didn't even attend his new high school. That young man decided to make innocent people suffer for actions they had nothing to do with.
First off it's two teachers who were killed and two boys who were killed and others injured.
Second, we have no proof of him being bullied.
That's the father talking to authorities last year to save his ass and his son, and that's coming from him who himself has a history of domestic assault and his mom has also assaulted an elderly woman, committed fraud, drug abuse, and neighbors have noted the family have along history of loud violent behavior.
So nah, the father is lying.
Colt is just evil like his parents. Product of them probably has some form of schizophrenia
He idolized Adam Lanza
He researched shooting up elementary schools to copycat him.
His username was Lanza in Russian
He researched radical groups like Trantifa.
The father was protecting his son by lying.
Then he buys him a gun for Christmas knowing he has issues.
Then they move to further avoid investigation.
Then classes started August 1st at the new school of which he skipped that entire month and th father did nothing.
Then he attended one day of classes and on his second day, shot up the school, randomly shooting people he didn't know.
No empathy for him or his parents. Full stop psychos all of them.
Kid showed zero emotion in the court room. He's evil. He wasn't bullied.
That was a brand new school to Colt. His father needs to shut his pie hole about bullying. He hadn’t been there long enough to be bullied.
He was referencing prior, no?
They’re literally just said the year before…
So he in his warped deluded mind unalived 4 wounded 8 because somebody else bullied him the year before? And used this excuse out loud like it made perfect sense? They are both insane. Lock them under the jail!!!
That conversation was a year ago in reference to the kid's old school. Pay attention. Shut pie hole and listen.

Bullied. Not one school has ended bullies. They all have a no bully policy but that is about it. The school want to keep students in class for their funding. Safety takes a back seat. A lot of school shooters were bullied for something. No excuse for these killings. He seems to have poor excuses for parents. Long histroy of CPS issues. This killer wanted to make everyone hurt or killed around him.
No excuses! Life without parole for both!
I see 4 lives taken, and only 2 lives at judgement. Where's the mom at?
If they can prove that the kid and parent complained about being bullied and the school did not stop it then the principal should be held responsible for that. If the school won't stop bullying then the school administration needs to be held responsible along with the father.

@@ShivaLadiva-sb9nw I don't condone shooting other people but I understand how it is for anger to well up inside because of bullying. The anger has to come out one way or another.

Self defense?
"Not condoning what Colt Gray did at all", he pulled the trigger and killed 4 innocent people and injured so many other innocent victims, he deserves life in prison !!! And his father also deserves life in prison since he let his son have the gun. But these bullies out there are also to blame knowing that the person that they are teasing and being made fun of, are just making their mental issues worse. Which makes them spiral more into doing horrible tragic things. Praying for all the victims and their families. ❤
I don't believe he was bullied at school. He lied about the social media posts and again lied about the bullying because he wanted to stay home so he could play video games 24/7. He's manipulative.
Access to any gun can only lead to a good boy making a bad decision. Did the father think that his kid would impress the bullies by TALKING about his automatic rifle? Why don't we give 14-year old's the right to leave school, marry & vote? They don't have the emotional maturity to make those decisions. Parenting classes should be required.

They need to do something about bullying in schools. Bullying can turn a good kid into a monster. You take a kid with an unstable home life , add in these online games and add in a kid who can’t cope and you get this extremely sad situation. Everyone should teach their kids to,leave other kids alone. And you don’t give kids who have been bullied access to guns. Sadly the people who were killed probably didn’t even know this kid.
Told yall he identifies as they them bruh
As I always said- bullying is to blame not gun control
I'm sick and tired of people saying the shooter was bullied as if that's an excuse. I was bullied as kid in school, so was my son. We got over it and became productive members of society. I ended up teaching for 6 years in a school, as well as playing music on six continents. Stop putting the blame on other people for what an insane killer does...
That headline is a JOKE 😂!
These comments are just full of bullies who don’t know they are bullies.
I never ever harassed or threatened a child in school. I was harassed tho cause I had acne
I protected kids that were bullied, I remember a fragile kid’s mother would ask me to protect him from bullies
If he thinks bullies are bad in high school, just wait until he gets to prison.
So, the bullys are going to face no consequences?
I agree. Why aren't they being dealt with, especially the parents of the bullies? They are obviously being raised in a dysfunctional environment of sorts too. Some must be mimicking the behsvior of their own parents. Of course you see bullying all day every day on tv and social media.
Just having a child at home with you is not parenting. But is absolutely no excuse to what has happened. What has been going on at this school? Why hasn't anyone done anything about how this school has allowed this to happen to a child? Why was any type of weapon allowed into a school? Is a bullied child more intelligent than all staff members with bachelor's degrees? Come on already.
.that is not a reason to ever kill anyone ever ........
Start home schooling your children!
So they can end up idiots like you? So you can keep them away from reality? You're the type that creates murderers, or the children who bully someone to become one
Most parents don’t have the luxury of staying home to homeschool their kids.
No socialization.
Doesn't mimic reality. Plus, during the pandemic kids we're showing signs of severe depression and anxiety during lockdowns.
It was only the 2nd day of school! I think the bullying happened at home! That is not an excuse for killing. Get him out of the school and home school him or move!
So we're the bullies the ones shot?
@@sharonbower5069 this will be good to know
No 🥺🤬🤬🤬🤬
He transferred from that school where he was bullied. He was not at this school at the beginning of the school year. He was only there a week and a half. No excuse.
I doubt it.. one was a teacher..
Look at you justifying murder
BS. THIS kid was the bully.
No excuse.
And really you buy your son a rifle. 😂
Sadly this is what happens when you don't allow parents to discipline their children and then remove God from schools all while allowing teachers to fill their heads with ideas that go against common decency. What we have is a lost generation😢
Doesn’t give an excuse for his sons murdering people!
I don't understand why people are making this a political issue!!
I am a republican and didn't go around shooting people or shooting up my school!!
This has nothing to do with political association but with mental health and school bullies !!
Parents need to teach their kids to stop bullying other kids !! To be tolerant and acceptance of others
At the new school, where he started a little over a month ago and spoke with no one because this is a new school district, so he literally knew no one from middle school.. my God, the same kid who doesn’t attend school everyday!!!! Has got to be downright comical sir. The questions ought to be, why did your 13yo son needed an A-R style gun? School is in session, why was the gun accessible to him? You were the one who said that although he has access to the weapons of war, they were not loaded… what happened here? No, sir I’m not buying what you’re selling!! Thank you, NEEEXT!
This makes no sense I thought that was only his second day at that school. These news reporters make no sense how could he, be bullied in only 2 days and his first day he spent with counselors. This is another story that doesn't add up
How does anyone, student or teacher, just walk into a school with an AR-15? They are not just little guns that can be hidden. The school bears some responsibility here, if there are no camera's, no security, no one manning the camera's.
A lot of us grew up in broken homes and were bullied at school. That’s no excuse to kill innocent people.
Also that boy was only at the school for 2 days. They need to quit making excuses for him.
Definately a reason you Don't supply a 14 year old with lethal weapons. Dad needs to be charged.
Why not go to the school to see what was going on? Reach out to the teacher or principal if he was being bullied! SMH! Then you spend money on a gun instead of therapy! NO EXCUSE!
This sounds like excuses. Colt hasn't seen anything yet. Wait until he gets to prison.
Not surprised he blames it on being bullied. My God who wasn't. Listening to his dad I'm not surprised how the kid is.
Being bullied, does not justify killing anyone period!!
I'm so sad that he didn't try to get him some help or homeschool-even letting him quit would have been better than destroying his and everyone else's lives. There is too much internet, and not enough face-to-face talking. I pray for all involved.
Getting him help wouldnt work with verbal bullying. They gonna say take it and keep it moving..
@@Herozonex200Yeah, but bullies are horrible people.
kimyork: "HOMESCHOOL" how rich do you think the dad is? or are you assuming that the father is able to do the teaching?.
How do hundreds of people, including teachers, educators and office staff, miss the warning signs and let this young man endure torture that led him to retaliate.... How? And how do the parents not address this intervene instead of buying guns and making them accessible...?? Every body failed this young man and it led to the tragic death of others....... How? Teachers? Hello?
Im white i was bullied in a 90 percent black school because i was white and smart
This can happen when kids are bullied
You would think with all this going on, bullies would eventually quit thinking they may be next if they keep it up.
Why not mention the wounded people, 8 students and 1 teacher?
Being bullied is no excuse, I and many others were bullied senseless in high-school never ever crossed my mind to act in such violence
It still didn't give him the right to do what he did.
"Colt has been thru a lot"! Lots of people have been thru a lot!! They don't commit mass murder!!!! Get counseling!!
This is what I said too. He told what he was thinking about doing and the adults didn't listen, right? I guess all of the adults he seeked help through are listening and seeing now.
Colt’s actions were cowardly and bully-identity worthy. Sh00ting innocent people who did NOTHING to you and had no way to defend themselves is inexcusable. Colt, himself, is a bully.
Anybody see the pattern , here ??? Bullying is NOT a good idea. Jeremy's spoken and now Colt has , too...NOT that it makes it right.
You would think with all this going on, bullies would eventually quit thinking they may be next if they keep it up.
Bullying sucks! I get it, but like a lot of people are already saying, there are hundreds of different options to do. First off be a good dad and help your son by not putting him in prison where he’s gonna get bullied way worse now.
Not an excuse... tons of other folks are bullied and dont shoot innocent people in response.
What an absolute failure in parenting
That kid knew exactly what he was doing. Yes his father should be charged also!
let me guess...he didn't kill the bullies???
They called him gay....I remember when they called me black.
Go ahead and weep Winder, and remember YOU have made Angels cry.
He wasn't a victim of bullying; he was probably the bully
Hope this will stop kids from bullying others!
Nope it seems like bullying will never end maybe hold teachers accountable to
Apparently , the grandmother Colt's mom's mother went to the school the week before Labor Day she told a news outlet to get therapy for him. If this is the case & found to be true , I think the school has a role in this somewhere. Jackson Co. school where he previously attended knew from police about the UNFOUNDED THREAT. His file should have at least been noted & when he transferred to Barrow Co. they would have had a heads up on him. IMO.
They said he only went to that school 2 days.
His son did not shoot those that bullied him. He became a much more dangerous and lethal bully himself.
That is no excuse for shooting people.
