16岁少年Colt Gray因在乔治亚州Apalachee高中制造的枪击事件被判处终身监禁且不得假释[1]。该枪击案发生于2024年9月4日,造成4人死亡、9人受伤[1]。Gray本周五对55项罪名认罪,周二被法院判决[1]。
死者包括两名14岁的学生Mason Schermerhorn和Christian Angulo,以及两名教师Richard Aspinwall(39岁)和Cristina Irimie(53岁)[1]。另有1名教师和8名学生受伤,其中7人被枪击[1]。
法官Nicholas Primm在宣判时指出,Gray对自己的行为未表现出悔意[1]。法官表态称:"你似乎并未为你的所作所为而感到痛苦,你似乎在效仰你所崇拜的杀人犯的足迹中获得满足。"[1]法官还指出Gray通过该案件获得网络声誉,并崇拜大规模杀手[1]。Apalachee高中位于距亚特兰大东北约45英里处[1]。
Colt Gray, 16, received a life sentence without the possibility of parole following his guilty plea to 55 charges stemming from a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia on September 4, 2024 [1]. The attack claimed the lives of two students—Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14 years old—and two teachers, Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Cristina Irimie, 53 [1]. Beyond the four fatalities, nine others were wounded: one teacher and eight students, of whom seven were shot [1].
Gray entered his plea on Friday and was sentenced on Tuesday by Judge Nicholas Primm, who characterized the teenager's demeanor as unrepentant [1]. The judge stated, "You do not seem to be tormented by what you did. You seem to relish following in the footsteps of the murderers you idolize," noting that Gray appeared motivated by the notoriety associated with mass killings rather than remorse for his actions [1]. The high school is located approximately 45 miles northeast of Atlanta [1].
