Colin Gray, 55, had been convicted in March of second-degree murder for the killing of two 14-year-olds, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo.

Gray gifted his son a SIG Sauer SIGM400 rifle as a Christmas present the year before the school shooting. But family members — including Colt’s mother — had voiced concern about the teenager’s mental state. Colin Gray was 14 when he brought the rifle to school, left his second-period class and opened fire in a school hallway and classroom. In addition to the four victims killed, a third teacher and eight other students were injured in the shooting. Colin Gray’s conviction and sentencing echoes a similar case in Michigan. Colin Gray argued that he could have taken multiple actions to prevent his son’s actions. Primm said the warning lights were flashing brighter and brighter, and you didn’t get him help.
