The maternal grandfather of the 14-year-old accused of killing four people at a Georgia high school last week has said that the teenager’s “evil” father bears just as much responsibility for the shooting.
“I understand that Colt [Gray] did it, and he needs to pay the ultimate price,” Charles Polhamus told local station 13WMAZ a day after the shooting at Apalachee High School. “I understand that and I don’t disagree with that, but his dad is as guilty as Colt is.”
Colin Gray, Colt’s father, was arrested on Thursday and charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
