The mother of the accused gunman in the mass shooting at Apalachee High School this month has been arrested on charges of elder abuse stemming from an incident in 2023, when she is said to have taped her mother to a chair, local news media reported.

Marcee Gray, 43, was reportedly indicted on Sept. 16 and charged with elder abuse, false imprisonment, theft and damaging property, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Ms. Gray’s 14-year-old son, Colt, is being charged as an adult for murder in the deadliest school shooting in Georgia’s history. He is accused of bringing an AR-15-style rifle to Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., earlier this month, killing four — two students and two math teachers — and injuring at least nine.
