Colin Gray, the father of a teenager alleged to have shot and killed four people at Apalachee High School, entered a not guilty plea Thursday morning.

Gray did not appear in the Barrow County courtroom. His attorney, Jimmy Berry, entered the plea on his behalf and waived a formal arraignment.

Berry said he plans to file more than two dozen new motions in the case in the next two weeks. However, he did not enter a request for bond, and it is unknown when the next hearing will be.
