Apalachee school shooting | Suspect and his father make court appearances
SUMMARY: The accused shooter and his father, Colt and Colin Gray, remain in custody and appeared in court without formally entering pleas.

The cases will be presented to a grand jury on October 17. If indictments are issued, both will face arraignment, with Colt Gray scheduled for another hearing on December 4.
Colt Gray is facing multiple charges in connection with the shooting. His father was also arrested.
