A Georgia father whose son is accused of carrying out a deadly high school shooting has been convicted of second-degree murder by a jury on Tuesday.
The conviction centers on the father’s role in allowing his son to obtain the firearm that was later used in the tragic 2024 school attack, which resulted in the deaths of four individuals.
This case marks a significant legal precedent in holding parents criminally responsible when they enable their children’s access to weapons used in mass shootings.
