The mother of suspected Georgia high school shooter Colt Gray apologized to the victims of last week's deadly shooting in an open letter.

Shawn Laval Smith, 34, was found guilty of one count of murder and a special-circumstance allegation of lying in wait in connection with the death of 24-year-old UCLA student, Brianna Kupfer, according to the Los Angeles County Prosecutor's Office.

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled the suspect's case will play out in adult court, siding with a Chippewa County court judge's earlier decision that such a move would downplay the seriousness of the offenses.
