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.
Are you saying sexual abuse (as you define in your comment) WAS reported? I’m confused why you’re defining it here.
And even with laws on the books, all abuse is underreported, and then when it is, there’s the victim blaming mentality, from report to trial, if it makes it that far.
Sorry. That was my original comment, I thought you saw it. Under reported. Abuse is underreported. I’m not saying it happened or didn’t, but as the person to whom I was replying noted, s bunch of other red flags were prevalent. Sometimes, for those intentionally or intentionally unaware, red flags simply don’t register; especially in heavily patriarchal Bible Belt cultures in the USA. Even in France, where that old man brought in 51 men to sexually abuse his wife, because he said, “she’s my wife, I do with her as I please.”
