Alleged Georgia school shooter and father arraigned

ELECTION CASE WHERE HE CHOSE NOT TO APPEAR. >> THAT IS VERY INTERESTING. KATRINA KAUFMAN, THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT. >>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS 14- YEAR-OLD BOY ACCUSED OF A DEADLY SHOOTING AT A GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL. HE HAS BEEN ARRAIGNED IN HIS FIRST COURT APPEARANCE. COLT GRAY WAS CHARGED WITH FOUR COUNTS OF FELONY MURDER AND IS ACCUSED OF KILLING TWO STUDENTS AND TWO TEACHERS WITH AN AR STYLE GUN. THE TEENS FATHER WAS ALSO ARRAIGNED IN THAT SAME COURTROOM A SHORT TIME AGO. HE WAS CHARGED WITH LETTING HIS SON POSSESS A WEAPON, ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS. HE IS NOW FACING SEVERAL CHARGES INCLUDING SECOND-DEGREE MURDER. WE ARE JOIN NOW TO TALK ABOUT THIS, SO, I BELIEVE, DO WE HAVE A SOUND FROM THE ARRAIGNMENT THIS MORNING? LET'S ROLL THAT FOUND AND LET'S TALK ABOUT IT ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> I WANT A COUPLE OF THINGS ON THE RECORD. I CORRECTLY TOLD YOU THE MAXIMUM PENALTY FOR THE CRIMES FOR WHICH YOU ARE CHARGED. THAT IS CORRECT EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OLD. I WANTED TO INFORM YOU AND MAKE IT CLEAR TO YOU THAT THE PENALTY FOR THE CRIMES FOR WHICH YOU ARE CHARGED DOES NOT INCLUDE DEATH. >> SO WE JUST HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THE JUDGE HAD TO SAY . HE WAS SPEAKING TO THAT 14-YEAR-OLD BOY. WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS, IN THIS CASE, SOMETHING WE'VE STARTED TO SEE, WHICH IS PARENTS BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF THEIR CHILDREN, SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO SHOOTINGS AT SCHOOLS. WHAT ELSE DID YOU SEE THIS MORNING IN THE COURTROOM? >> Reporter: YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THAT ETHAN CRUMBLEY CASE EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN YOU HAD THE FIRST SET OF PARENTS CHARGED IN CONNECTION TO A MASS SHOOTING THAT CLAIMED THE LIFE OF FOUR STUDENTS. AS FAR AS TODAY'S CASE, WHAT WAS SO INTERESTING IS THE IDEA OF SEEING ALL THE PARENTS AND THAT FIRST ROW WHO CAME IN AND WANTED TO BE THERE FOR THIS FIRST COURT APPEARANCE. AND HAVING TO SEE THAT 14-YEAR- OLDS FACE AGAIN BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO CLARIFY THAT HE IS NOT IN FACT FACING THE DEATH PENALTY BECAUSE HE IS 14 WOULD OVER THE AGE OF 18. SO DEFINITELY TOUGH FOR THOSE PARENTS, SOME WERE CRYING, SOME WERE HOLDING EACH OTHER. A FEW OF THEM HAD SHADES ON, AS YOU COULD IMAGINE, JUST STILL VERY STRICKEN WITH GRIEF AND OVERCOME WITH EMOTION. HAVING TO SIT THERE AND LOOK AT THE PERSON THAT IS BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KILLING OF THEIR CHILDREN, OF INCREDIBL DIFFICULT. I TALKED TO A COUPLE OF DOZEN FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY COMMENT. BUT IT WAS A BIZARRE MOMENT. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT IS ALREADY PAINFUL ENOUGH TO SEE THE FACE OF SOMEONE ACCUSED OF KILLING FOUR PEOPLE, TO HAVE TO COME BACK AND SEE THEM AGAIN. AND THEN ANOTHER MOMENT, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A FATHER WHO GAVE A GUN TO HIS SON AFTER INVESTIGATORS CAME TO THE HOUSE INQUIRING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HIS THEN 13-YEAR-OLD SON WANTING TO COMMIT A SCHOOL SHOOTING. >> YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. WHICH IS WHY I WANTED TO SHOW PICTURES AND SOUND FROM THE COURTROOM. I WAS STRUCK AND THAT IS WHAT I ASSUMED, I LOOKED AND SAW PEOPLE HOLDING HANDS, WEARING SUNGLASSES WAS INCREDIBLY MOVIN AND AS YOU JUST EXPLAINED, THIS TIMELINE, 13 YEARS OLD, BEGAN AN INVESTIGATION. TAKE US THROUGH THAT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WHAT THE AUTHORITIES ARE ALLEGING ABOUT WHAT THE FATHER'S ACTIONS WERE IN THE WAKE OF THAT INVESTIGATION THAT LED TO THIS SHOOTING. >> Reporter: ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT, WE'VE HEARD TIME AND TIME AGAIN, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. THIS IS A CASE WHERE PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA AND AUSTRALIA REACHED OUT TO AUTHORITIES, THEY SENT THAT INFORMATION TO THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY WENT TO THE HOME IN MAY OF 2023 TO ASK THE FAMILY QUESTIONS ABOUT POSSIBLE MESSAGES SENT ON DISCORD REGARDING A SCHOOL SHOOTING. THE YOUNG MAN DENIED IT AND THE FATHER ADMITTED THAT THERE WERE GUNS IN THE HOUSE BUT SAID WE KEEP THEM SECURE AND LOCKED UP AND THEY WENT ABOUT THEIR WAY. NO CRIME HAD BEEN COMMITTED AT THAT POINT IN TIME AND THAT IS THE TOUGH PART ABOUT A LOT OF THESE STORIES. EVEN WHEN WE HEAR PEOPLE SAY, OH, THEY MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT OR THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO SUCH AND SUCH BUT UNTIL THE CRIME IS COMMITTED, IT IS HARD FOR AUTHORITIES TO GET IN THERE AND PREVENT THIS. IT IS SO UNFORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS SORT OF A PEEK INTO WHAT WAS TO COME BUT WHO WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN FOR SURE AND WITH CERTAINTY THAT THAT WOULD BE WHAT WE ARE HERE TALKING ABOUT TODAY, THE DEATH OF FOUR PEOPLE AT APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL. >> AND THAT 14-YEAR-OLD ARRAIGNED ON FOUR COUNTS OF FELONY MURDER AND HIS FATHER
