The father of the mass shooting suspect accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student, is accused of killing two students and two teachers with an AR-style rifle in the Wednesday shooting. Nine more people were hospitalized.

One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present.

Perhaps the father only intended his son to use his AR-15 to kill animals for fun, which is totally acceptable behaviour for any budding young psycopath.

Mass shooting murderer children literally named after guns now...

We're kind of running out of space here. Next "breaking news" story on CNN will be,

"A sentient gun/child hybrid in Arkansas, named Hollowpoint Reginald Babykiller, just massacred an entire classroom of other gun children using his arms, which are also guns."

[News anchor turns and shoots all the talking heads on discussion panel]

"To our next story, the inexplicable growing labor shortage in factories built with child sized equipment continues to grow..."

Guns kill people. Wow it's so complicated. Americans need to examine their culture

We don’t all think the same on this issue. I for one thing that we’re well past addressing this.
