A rural Georgia town in mourning has little sympathy for dad charged in school shooting

Gunman Colin Gray is accused of giving his son access to an "AR-platform style weapon" The suspect and his father have been charged with murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting.

Winder, Georgia , is a tight-knit, community of less than 30,000 , and mourners say the suspect should not have had access to a gun.

Colin Gray , 54 , faces two counts of murder in the second degree, four counts of involuntary manslaughter, and eight counts of cruelty to children.

This marks only the second time in the U.S. that parents of an accused mass school shooter have been charged for deaths.

The charges come months after the conviction of Jennifer and James Crumbley , the parents of a 15-year-old who shot and killed four of his classmates at his Michigan high school.

Suspect's family has said he struggled with mental health in the face of a tumultuous home environment.

The suspect's grandfather, Charles Polhamus , accused Colin Gray of being verbally abusive to the suspect and his mother.

The FBI determined that the posts originated in Jackson County and turned over the evidence to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office .
