She and dad separated, she has custody of shooter’s two younger siblings, he had custody the shooter. She apparently has drug use but not clear from what I’ve read whether addiction or poor decision-making. Her father says the marriage failed because dad has anger management issues and is verbally abusive. Still not clear how shooter ended up with dad instead of mom (maybe by choice?).

The younger Gray faces up to life in prison on four felony murder charges. He could face additional charges, investigators said.

… Though the shooting appeared to have been the result of an isolated dispute, which the authorities did not describe, it prompted anxiety and set into motion protocols that have become familiar across the country, as parents waited to see their children outside a reunification center that had been set up at a nearby church.

Joppatowne High School was four days into the school year, but this was the shooter’s first day at the school, Sheriff Gahler said. But he was known to the Sheriff’s Office.

“We’ve had more than 10 incidents since 2022 where the suspect was either the victim, witness or the suspect in an incident handled by the Harford County Sheriff’s Office,” Sheriff Gahler said. “This investigation is very active and very early on.” …”
