Mom of Accused Georgia School Shooter Speaks Out for First Time

Mom of Accused Georgia School Shooter Speaks Out for First Time

The mom of accused Georgia school shooter Colt Gray spoke out Saturday for the first time since her teen was accused of gunning down four people at his high school.

“It’s horrible. It’s absolutely horrible,” Marcee told The Post outside her father’s home in Fitzgerald, about three hours from Atlanta.

The mother of three appeared devastated as she carried pillows inside the home. She wore a pink T-shirt, jeans, sneakers and a large cross necklace.

Asked if she had anything to say to the families of the victims, which included two students and two teachers, she demurred.

“Nothing to anyone right now. I’ll have my time to speak. It’s not right now,” she said.

She also declined to discuss a haunting apology text message Colt, 14, sent her before allegedly opening fire.

“I’m not going to talk about details or anything,” she said.

Marcee’s brief appearance marked the first time she’s been spotted since authorities said her son opened fire at Apalachee High School.

Both Colt and his father, Colin Gray, face life in prison for the bloodshed — Colin, 54, allegedly gave his son the AR-15-style rifle used in the massacre as a Christmas gift.

Marcee, 43, had been at the Fitzgerald home Wednesday morning when her son sent a concerning text before he gunned down his victims, her father Charles Polhamus told The Post.

“I’m sorry, mom,” the message read.

Marcee desperately called Apalachee High School and warned a counselor of an “extreme emergency,” according to a report.

“I was the one that notified the school counselor at the high school. I told them it was an extreme emergency and for them to go immediately and find [my son] to check on him,” she told her sister, according to the Washington Post.

Polhamus said both Colt and Colin were “getting what [they] deserve” — with the grieving grandfather calling for his ex-son-in-law to be hit with the death penalty.

He slammed Colin as an “evil” abusive junkie who dragged Marcee into addiction with him — ruining the family and setting the stage for the violence at Apalachee High School.

Gray and Marcee, years ago

Marcee — whose rap sheet stretches back nearly two decades — once described herself as a victim of abuse and boasted on social media last year that her kids were “thriving” after the couple split.

Her dad denied reports from former neighbors of the family that Marcee abused the kids herself and locked them out of the house.

“Collie Gray did this to his family and he will rot in hell for it. That’s a fact,” Polhamus said outside his home. “He needs the death penalty. He is probably one of the worst narcissists in the world.”

“Colt didn’t cause that to happen. He did it. He didn’t wake up one day and decide I’m going to kill [four] people. No, he didn’t do that. He came out of an environment.

“If you step in a wad of s–t, what happens to your foot? You step in a wad of s–t. This is no different. To live in that for 11 years, my daughter and her children.”
