Grandpa of Georgia school shooter slams teen’s dad.
The fallout from the Apalachee High School massacre continues to unravel in the most devastating ways.
And the facts are damning.
Father’s charges revealed.
Colin Gray was charged with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children for his alleged role in the shooting.
Shockingly, just last Christmas, he gifted his son the AR-15-style rifle used in the attack.
That grim detail alone has sparked outrage.
But the backstory is even more harrowing.
Years of dysfunction unveiled.
Colt’s life had been far from stable long before the Apalachee High School shooting.
His mother, Marcee Gray, battled her own demons, including drug addiction and domestic violence arrests.
Once, neighbors reported hearing Colt and his sister locked out of their home, banging on the door for their mother’s attention.
It was a tragic cycle of neglect, one that left Colt to fend for himself.
Grandfather speaks out against shooter’s father.
Now, it’s the grandfather of 14-year-old accused shooter, Colt Gray, who’s dropping shocking claims.
Charles Polhamus, Colt’s maternal grandfather, didn’t hold back in a recent interview.
In fact, he went so far as to demand the death penalty for his ex-son-in-law, Colin Gray.
Grandpa blasts ex-son-in-law for role in tragedy.
“He’s evil,” Polhamus told The Post about the man he says provoked his grandson into a murderous rampage.
The massacre, which claimed the lives of two teens and two teachers, has left the small community of Fitzgerald, Georgia, shattered.
But Polhamus believes much of the blame falls squarely on one man: Colin Gray.
Grandfather’s claims exposed.
“He drove Colt to it, no question in my mind,” the 81-year-old said, pointing a finger at his former son-in-law.
According to Polhamus, the troubled 14-year-old didn’t stand a chance under his father’s roof.
Living with Colin Gray was described as a toxic environment, filled with screaming, violence, and manipulation.
Grandpa reveals dark truth.
Polhamus painted a dark picture of a man who had ruined everything, including his family’s finances.
After a back injury, Colin allegedly spiraled into drug addiction, losing their half-million-dollar farm in the process.
This wasn’t just a random act of violence, according to the grieving grandfather.
It was the result of years of dysfunction, emotional abuse, and neglect.
“Eleven years of that b**tard screaming every day—it can break anyone,” Polhamus vented, furious over the tragic outcome.
For him, the blame is clear: “Colt has to pay for what he did, but his father’s behind it all.”
By the time of the shooting, he was living with his father, who Polhamus says was a destructive force.
“He ruined their lives,” the grandfather said, placing Colin at the center of the chaos.
School shooting marks tragic climax of family dysfunction.
The devastation culminated in last week’s school shooting, but Polhamus doesn’t think his grandson was born a killer.
“He was a good kid before all this,” he insists, “but that house, that man—it changed him.”
And now, as Colt faces trial as an adult for four counts of murder, Polhamus believes justice needs to be served.
Grandfather calls for death penalty for Colin Gray.
“Colin deserves the death penalty,” he said with conviction, pointing out the legal consequences his ex-son-in-law now faces.
And with up to 180 years in prison on the table for Colin Gray, it seems the legal system might agree.
