Apalachee High School students returned to class full time Oct. 14 after a tragedy rocked their community.

On September 4, officials said a 14-year-old student at the school opened fire, killing two students and two teachers and wounding nine others. The boy is charged as an adult with four counts of murder.

The shooter’s father, 54-year-old Colin Gray, was also charged in connection with the shooting. He gave his son the AR-style weapon used in the incident, which came months after authorities visited his son last year to investigate online threats.

The father was charged with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of child abuse.
