16岁的Colt Gray因2024年9月在乔治亚州Apalachee高中实施的致命枪击事件而被控55项罪名，包括4起谋杀案[1]。该事件造成4人死亡——教师Richard Aspinwall（39岁）和Cristina Irimie（53岁），以及学生Mason Schermerhorn和Christian Angulo（均14岁）[1]。此外还有1名教师和8名学生受伤，其中7人被枪击[1]。Gray将于本周五出庭参加认罪和量刑听证会[1]。
法官Nicholas Primm将主持这场非协议式认罪和量刑听证会[1]。根据检控方提交的法庭文件，Gray在笔记本中留下了逐步说明和图表，估计可能导致26人丧生并打伤13人[1]。检控方表示将在听证会上传唤少年受害者和证人作证，并展示监控录像和犯罪现场照片[1]。
Gray的父亲Colin Gray已于3月被陪审团定罪，包括二级谋杀和过失杀人罪[1]。原定的试验于10月中旬在Columbia County开始[1]。
Colt Gray, 16, is scheduled to appear in court Friday for a plea and sentencing hearing related to a September 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia that killed four people and wounded multiple others. [1]
The attack occurred on September 4, 2024, when Gray, who was 14 years old at the time, opened fire at the school. [1] The shooting claimed the lives of two teachers—Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Cristina Irimie, 53—and two students, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14. [1] One teacher and eight additional students were injured, with seven of the students shot. [1]
Gray faces 55 charges, including four counts of murder. [1] According to court documents submitted by prosecutors, Gray's notebook contained detailed plans and sketches indicating he estimated he could kill 26 people and wound 13. [1]
Judge Nicholas Primm has designated the proceeding as a "Non-Negotiated Plea and Sentencing Hearing," meaning no plea agreement was reached between prosecutors and the court, and the judge will independently determine Gray's sentence. [1] Prosecutors plan to call victims and witnesses to testify during the hearing and present surveillance footage and crime scene photographs. [1]
Gray's father, Colin Gray, was convicted by a jury in March on charges including second-degree murder and manslaughter. [1]
