School Shooting Survivors Testify, Gunman's Father on Trial

Students wounded in a 2024 Georgia high school shooting testified on Tuesday in the trial of the alleged gunman's father, recounting the horrific events they endured. The defendant, 55-year-old Colin Gray, sat in the courtroom as the students provided tearful and painful testimony about the September 4, 2024, mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, allegedly perpetrated by Gray's then 14-year-old son, Colt, according to ABC News.

Judge Nicholas Primm ordered the media not to show the students' faces during the televised trial, ABC News reported. The defense did not cross-examine any of the students.

In other news, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly set to headline an upcoming fundraiser to benefit House Democrats, according to a report by Fox News, citing New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer. The event, scheduled for March 10 in Los Angeles, will also feature House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Ticket prices range from $25,000 to over $300,000, according to the report.

Also, an Arizona gun store owner told Fox News that an FBI agent asked him to review recent firearm purchases tied to a list of nearly two dozen people. Phillip Martin, co-owner of Armor Bearer Arms in Tucson, said the agent showed him three pages of photos and names, but no matches were found. The search for Nancy Guthrie continues into its third week, according to the report.

Actor Ethan Hawke, during a press conference for his new historical drama "The Weight," cautioned against seeking political advice from "jet-lagged, drunk artists," Fox News reported. Hawke was responding to a question from a German news outlet about the role of artists amid the rise of "fascism" in Europe.

Finally, former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom condemned American-born Team China Olympic skier Eileen Gu, calling her a "traitor" for representing China, according to Fox News. "She was born in America. She was raised in America, lives in America, and chooses to compete against her own country for, literally, the worst human rights abuser on the planet, China," Freedom said. "She built her fame in a free country, and then chooses to represent an authoritarian regime."
