The family of Georgia school shooting suspect Colt Gray is “not white trash” and are just “regular people,” a relative of the teen’s mother said Friday amid reports that the boy was raised in a broken home.
The perception that Gray, 14, came from a low-income, uneducated family is simply not true, a maternal relative told The Post.
In fact, most of the relatives related to the teen’s troubled mother are middle class with college degrees and good-paying jobs, the family member said.
“We are not white trash. That’s what everyone is saying about us, but we’re not. We are just regular people,” the relative, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Post.
Colt Gray allegedly gunned down two classmates and two teachers at Apalachee High School on Wednesday morning. He’s been charged with four counts of murder.
Since the massacre, a distressing picture has emerged of Gray’s home life.
A former neighbor and landlord of the Grays told The Post the teenager came from a neglectful home that, according to police, was frequently visited by the state’s child protective services agency.
