被控于2024年在佐治亚州阿帕拉奇高中枪杀两名学生和两名教师的少年科尔特·格雷，法庭文件显示，他将于本月晚些时候出庭参加一场“非协商”认罪听证会。
这份于周五提交至佐治亚州温德市巴罗县高级法院的文件显示，在各方于7月24日出庭参加认罪与量刑听证会时，格雷将变更其认罪态度。
格雷此前被以成年人身份起诉，并已提出无罪抗辩。这名少年面临总计55项罪名，包括恶意谋杀、加重伤害罪和加重袭击罪。他因二级谋杀罪最高可被判处30年监禁，总刑期最高可达180年。格雷的律师团队在2025年末曾表示，他正在就认罪协议进行谈判。法官随后设定了最后期限。
枪击案发生时格雷年仅14岁，自被捕以来一直被关押在青少年拘留中心。

他的父亲科林·格雷于今年3月被判二级谋杀罪及其他所有罪名成立。格雷是佐治亚州首位因校园枪击案被起诉的成年人。他的案件是美国第三次有父母因子女所涉大规模枪击案被起诉。
检察官表示，科林·格雷多年来对儿子的多起暴力行为视而不见。科林·格雷承认曾向儿子提供此次校园枪击案中使用的步枪，但他在法庭上称，这么做是为了在狩猎和靶场射击时与儿子增进感情。
2024年9月，格雷携带一把半自动突击式步枪登上校车，枪管从他用海报板包裹的书包中露出。他离开第二节课的课堂，随后从洗手间持枪走出，在一间教室和走廊内向人群开枪。
据称他留下了一本笔记本，里面手写了筹备暴力行动的步骤，以及他所在教室的平面图。

Apalachee High School shooting suspect set to change plea, court documents show

Colt Gray, the teen accused of fatally shooting two students and two teachers in 2024 at Apalachee High School in Georgia, will appear in court for a “non-negotiated” plea hearing later this month, court documents show.
The documents, filed Friday in Barrow County Superior Court in Winder, Georgia, indicate Gray is set to change his plea when the parties are ordered to appear before the court on July 24 for a plea and sentencing hearing.
Gray had been charged as an adult and previously pleaded not guilty. The teen is facing a total of 55 counts, including malice murder, aggravated battery and aggravated assault. He faces up to 30 years in prison for the second-degree murder charges and up to 180 years in total. Gray’s attorneys indicated in late 2025 that he was negotiating a plea deal. The judge then set a deadline.
Gray, who was 14 at the time of the shooting, has remained in custody at a juvenile detention center since his arrest.

His father, Colin Gray, was convicted in March of second-degree murder and all other charges. Gray was the first adult charged in connection with a school shooting in Georgia. His prosecution was the third time a parent has been charged for their connection to a mass shooting allegedly carried out by their child.
Prosecutors said he ignored multiple instances of violence conducted by his son throughout the years. Gray admitted to giving his son the rifle used in the school shooting but told the court he did that in hopes of bonding with his child while hunting and shooting at the gun range.
In September 2024, Gray carried a semiautomatic assault-style rifle onto the school bus, with the barrel sticking out of his book bag, wrapped up in a poster board. He left his second-period class and then emerged from a bathroom with the rifle before shooting people in a classroom and hallways.
He allegedly left a notebook with handwritten instructions detailing the steps to prepare for the violence and a diagram of his classroom.
