The AP article “Teen charged in Georgia school shooting and his father to stay in custody after hearings” (Sept. 6, TribLive) caused me great sadness and consternation.
Apparently Colin Gray had given his son a gift of an AR-15 assault-style rifle, which he used in the shooting.
When I was Colt Gray’s age (many moons ago), I was given a gift of a slot-car racing set. My, my, how parental gift-giving has changed over the last six decades!
How long will we have to keep repeating, “What a shame”?
