Colin only returned to the house after the locks had been changed to retrieve the firearms he had left behind.
The father of the accused Georgia high school shooter abandoned the family’s dogs and wedding photos when they were evicted but later returned and “kicked in the door” to retrieve his guns, according to a bewildered former landlord.
Colin and Marcee Gray were described as troublesome tenants before falling too far behind on rent and being evicted in 2020, the estranged couple’s former landlord told the Independent. The couple was ordered to leave their home along with their three children, including Colt Gray, now 14 and the suspected Apalachee High School shooter. Gray opened fire inside his school and killed four people, including two teachers on Wednesday, before being arrested.
Problematic Family With Checkered Past
The landlord, who chose to remain anonymous, told the outlet that the Grays were slow to vacate the rental property and left behind their two German Shepherds along with several irreplaceable keepsakes.
“I imagine the next place where they were renting didn’t allow dogs, so they just left them”, the landlord said, claiming that the Grays ignored his attempts at reuniting them with their dogs.
The surprised landlord said that he found a variety of other belongings left behind in the house, including a golf bag, an archery set, various tools, and their wedding photos.
“They left their wedding photos”, he added. “My wife tried to contact (Marcee) to say, ‘Hey, do you want these? Like, you can have them.’ And she never responded. So we ended up having to throw away their wedding pictures.”
