Public defender Brett Meeker filed a motion Friday asking that her client, Memorial Middle School shooter Thomas Gregory White, be released from jail on bond and be placed under house arrest.
White, 15, has been in jail since October 2006 when he was arrested following the incident in which he took an assault rifle into Memorial Middle School, fired the weapon into the ceiling, then aimed it at Principal Steve Gilbreth and attempted to fire again, but the weapon jammed, according to law enforcement reports.
White, who was 13 and a seventh grader at Memorial at the time of the incident, was charged with two counts of assault, and single counts of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and attempted escape.
A December trial date has been set.
