Apalachee High School shooting: Arrest of Colt Gray's father announced
The 14-year-old suspected Apalachee High School shooter is scheduled to make his first appearance in court on Friday - just a day after his father was also arrested on multiple charges.
The 11-year-old's father, Alfredo Caceres, 55, told police he did, in fact, have several weapons and voluntarily handed them over to police.
Police recovered an unloaded 20-gauge shotgun, an unloaded 12-gauge shotgun, and an unloaded .22-caliber pellet gun, all of which, they said were easily accessible and unsecured.
Caceres was arrested, and the weapons were confiscated.
After further investigation, detectives found that the 11-year-old did not point the shotgun at anyone and that no one was placed in danger.
The father is charged with failure to safely store firearms in the 1st degree and is expected to appear in court on Sept. 17.
