Reflecting Pool: Blue Turns Gray

Colt Gray, the Georgia teen who fatally shot two teachers and two students and wounded nine others at Apalachee High School in September 2024, was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The decision concludes a three-day sentencing hearing that has featured Gray’s guilty plea to 55 charges, emotional victim impact statements, his confessions to police and insights into his motive and mental health.
