The judge in the Apalachee High School shooting case has recused himself because of this pending retirement.

The case was reassigned to Judge Sarah Griffie, appointed in August by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve as a Superior Court judge for the judicial circuit. Griffie was hired as an assistant district attorney in Barrow County in 2007 and had served as Chief Assistant District Attorney since 2016 prior to being named a judge.

Currently, 14 year old Colt Gray remains in the Barrow County Jail charged with killing four people during a shooting spree September 4th. He’s been indicted on 55 charges. His father, Colin Gray, is facing 29 charges for providing his son with a gun. Colin Gray remain in custody.
