Two students and two teachers were killed and nine people injured in Wednesday’s high school shooting.
The father of the 14-year-old boy suspected of shooting dead four people and injuring nine more in a Georgia school has been arrested.
State officials said Colin Gray knowingly allowed his son Colt to have the weapon he used in Wednesday’s attack.
Gray, 54, was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said.
“These charges stem from Mr Gray knowingly allowing his son Colt to possess a weapon,” Chris Hosey, director of the GBI, told a news conference.
Colt Gray has been charged with four counts of murder and officials have said he will be tried as an adult. He is due to appear in court by video camera on Friday morning.
