A Georgia man who gave his son the firearm used in a deadly high school shooting is sentenced to 15 years in prison. Multiple outlets report that the father’s conviction stems from providing the assault rifle and ammunition that the teenage shooter used at Apalachee High School, where four people are killed and nine others are wounded. The sentencing is described as a milestone because it is Georgia’s first case in which a parent is convicted of second-degree murder for a mass shooting committed by their child. Courthouse reporting says the judge found the father repeatedly failed his teenage son, including by supplying the weapon and ammunition. The UK outlet similarly describes the case as the culmination of the state’s first parent-murder prosecution tied to a school shooting. Other sources echo the same sentence length and key factual link between the father’s actions and the gun used in the attack, without adding conflicting details about the term imposed or the central conduct leading to conviction.
