The father of Colt Gray, the 14-year-old boy accused of opening fire at Apalachee High School Wednesday killing four, reportedly boasted about his son’s shooting skills a year before the bloodbath.
Colin Gray made the disturbing remarks last year when he and Colt were interviewed by the FBI over online school shooting threats the troubled teen had allegedly made.
The then 53-year-old father expressed his pride in his son’s first deer kill using a hunting rifle.
“We do a lot of shooting we do a lot of deer hunting,” Colin Gray said. “He actually shot his first deer this year.”
The dad showed investigators a photo of the teen covered in deer blood.
“The picture on my phone is of him with blood on his cheeks from shooting his first deer – just the greatest day ever,” Gray commented.
Colin Gray was also arrested and charged in connection to the high school rampage. He is currently being held at the Barrow County Detention Center.
