The father and son duo who have been charged in relation to a school shooting in Georgia, were indicted by a grand jury on Thursday on additional charges related to the killings. 

High-schooler Colt Gray, 14, was indicted on 55 counts, including felony murder, malice murder and aggravated assault, according to Fox News. Gray, who was allegedly responsible for the September shooting at Apalachee High School, has already been charged with four counts of felony murder.  

Colt Gray's father Colin Gray, 54, was indicted on 29 charges, including second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and reckless conduct. Colin Gray allegedly purchased the gun used in the shooting and gifted it to his son for Christmas.

Prosecutors claimed on Thursday that there were 25 victims in the shooting. Previous reports claimed four people were killed and nine were injured. Both father and son are expected to be arraigned on Nov. 21. 

Colt Gray will be tried as an adult, and Georgia is one of 42 states that allow parents to be held criminally responsible for their children's behavior.
