Authorities have said Gray’s father, Colin Gray, gave him access to the semiautomatic AR-15 style rifle used in the shooting. It’s not clear how Gray brought the gun to campus or what he did with it in the two hours between school starting at 8:15 a.m. and when shots first rang out.

Colin Gray became the first parent of a school shooting suspect to be charged in Georgia, District Attorney Brad Smith said Friday. He’s accused of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children for providing his son with the rifle.

Good. Why the fuck would you do that? Even if we assume it was bought before the kid started having well known mental health issues, a teenager is no where near old enough to be responsible with a gun. Even if the parents thought the teenager could be responsible, it should have been taken away and sold or something the moment he confessed he was having suicidal and/or homicidal thoughts.
