The mother of suspected Georgia high school shooter Colt Gray apologized to the victims of last week's deadly shooting in an open letter.
In the letter provided to CNN, Marcee Gray insisted her 14-year-old son "is not a monster" and that if she "could take the place of Mason and Christian, I would without a second thought," she wrote, referring to the two 14-year-old victims. "As a parent, I've always said that the loss of one of my children would be the only thing that I wouldn't be able to come back from. I feel all of your pain and devastation. I grieve and cry with you."
Gray allegedly used an AR-15 purchased for him as a gift from his father to fatally shoot classmates Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, as well as two teachers at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, last Wednesday.
The teen has since been charged with four counts of felony murder and will be tried as an adult, according to authorities.
His father, Colin, has also been arrested and charged with several counts of cruelty to children and involuntary manslaughter.
It's unclear if they entered pleas to the charges.
This is a developing story.
