Father and son appear in court for first time after the teenager was charged with a school shooting in Georgia.

A 14-year-old boy has been charged with four counts of murder for a shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia that left four people dead. His father, who allowed him to have a weapon, was also arrested and both of them have decided not to seek bail. The two appeared in court on Friday, with a large crowd of onlookers present, including media and members of law enforcement.

During the hearing, the boy, Colt Gray, was advised of his rights and the charges he was facing. He was escorted out of the courtroom in shackles after the hearing. The judge later called him back to correct an earlier statement about the possible penalty, as the maximum punishment for juveniles is life without parole. Another hearing was set for December 4.

Colin Gray, the boy's father, was also brought into court and charged with involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder. According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, his charges are related to his son's actions and allowing him access to a weapon.

This incident has reignited the debate about safe storage laws for guns and has left parents wondering how to talk to their children about school shootings and trauma. In the wake of the shooting, there have been numerous threats of violence made to schools in Georgia and across the country.

Before his arrest, a neighbour remembered the 14-year-old boy as an inquisitive child. The victims of the shooting were identified as two students, a math teacher, and a volunteer at a local church. The motive for the shooting is still unclear, and authorities have not explained how the boy obtained the weapon or brought it into the school.

The attack at Apalachee High School is just one of many school shootings that have occurred in the United States in recent years. Despite the ongoing debate about gun control, there have been few changes to national gun laws. This incident marks the 30th mass killing in the US this year, with at least 127 people dead. The attack has once again brought to attention the need for stricter gun laws and better measures to prevent school shootings.
