When 15-year-old Thomas Gregory White, the Memorial Middle School shooter, appears in court, his hearings will be covered on camera.
Jasper County Associate Circuit Court Judge David Mouton ruled Friday that television cameras will be allowed in the courtroom for White, who was 13 and a seventh grader at Memorial when he took an assault rifle into the school, fired a shot into the ceiling, then pointed the weapon at Principal Steve Gilbreth and tried to fire it, but the weapon jammed, according to the authorities.
White is charged with two counts of assault and single counts of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and attempted escape.
White's next hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, May 23.
