What charges does the father face in the Georgia school shooting case and why is it historically significant?

Colin Gray, the father of school shooting suspect Colt Gray, faces 29 criminal charges including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. These charges stem from allegedly buying the gun used in the attack as a Christmas present and allowing his son unfettered access to the weapon despite receiving significant warnings that his son would endanger others' safety. This case marks the first time in Georgia history that a parent has been charged in connection with a school shooting allegedly committed by their child. The unprecedented legal action reflects growing accountability for parents regarding their children's access to firearms, particularly in cases where warning signs were present.
