By this time tomorrow, we will know whether Memorial Middle School shooter Thomas Gregory White will remain behind bars.
Judge David Mouton will hear the defense request that White, 15, either have his bond drastically reduced or be placed under house arrest. White has been behind bars since October 2006 when he took an automatic rifle into Memorial Middle School, fired the weapon into the ceiling, then pointed it at Principal Steve Gilbreth and allegedly tried to pull the trigger multiple times but the weapon jammed.
White was 13 and a seventh grader at Memorial at the time of the incident. He is charged with two counts of assault, and single counts of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and attempted escape.
A Feb. 28 Missouri Supreme Court hearing is set to determine if White will remain in adult court or be returned to the juvenile system.
