Overview
- Prosecutors rested Thursday after jurors watched restricted school surveillance showing the shooter’s movements before and during the Sept. 4, 2024 attack, as Colin Gray wept at counsel table.
- Financial and digital records presented to jurors traced the Sig Sauer rifle purchase and accessories—including a tactical vest and a knife later recovered from Colt’s backpack—over spring and summer 2024.
- Bank statements and interviews introduced by the state were used to question Gray’s claims about gun storage and his ability to buy a safe, including testimony he received $9,000 the month before the shooting.
- Gray’s daughter testified firearms at home were not secured, that a rifle was kept in Colt’s bedroom, and that her father asked her to “cover for him” about knowledge of shooter images on Colt’s wall.
- Taking the stand Friday, Gray said he bought guns to bond through hunting and range trips, kept them unloaded on a closet shelf without locks, and conceded he should have done more; closing arguments are expected early next week.
