  • The judge filed a "Non-Negotiated Plea and Sentencing Hearing," indicating the state and defense have not agreed on a sentence, leaving the decision to the judge.
  • Investigators testified that Gray carefully plotted the attack, carrying the rifle onto a school bus and leaving a notebook with detailed instructions and casualty estimates.
  • Colt Gray's father, Colin Gray, was convicted in March for providing his son with the assault-style rifle used in the shooting and is awaiting sentencing.
