Judge to review Memorial Middle School shooter's case Feb. 27

Judge David Mouton will review Memorial Middle School shooter Thomas Gregory White's fitness to stand trial on Feb. 27, 2009, according to Jasper County Circuit Court records.

Mouton ruled today that White, 15, is incompetent to stand trial and ordered him to undergo treatment. White was 13 and a seventh grader at Memorial in October 2006 when he took an assault rifle into the building, fired a shot into the ceiling, and then reportedly aimed the weapon at Principal Steve Gilbreth, attempting to fire it, but the weapon jammed.

White is charged with two counts of assault, and single counts of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and attempted escape.
