Pre-sentence investigation ordered for father of Memorial Middle School shooter

U. S. District Court Judge James England ordered a presentence investigation today after accepting the guilty plea of Gregory L. White, 44, Joplin, to a federal weapons charge.
White is the father of the Memorial Middle School student who brought a gun to the school Oct. 7 and fired one shot before the weapon jammed. He was not legally allowed to possess firearms since he has been convicted twice on felony charges.
White's guilty plea was accepted this morning during an 11-minute session at the federal courts building in Springfield. White remains free on bond.
