Judge David Mouton ruled this morning that Memorial Middle School shooter Thomas Gregory White is incompetent to stand trial.
According to a bulletin just issued by KZRG, White, 15, will be sent to a mental health facility and then his condition will be re-evaluated in six months to determine if he can stand trial.
White was 13 and a seventh grader at Memorial Middle School in October 2006 when he took an assault rifle into the building, fired a shot into the ceiling, and then pointed the weapon at Principal Steve Gilbreth, and attempted to fire it, but the weapon jammed.
Since that time, White has been in the Jasper County Jail awaiting trial on two counts of assault and single counts of armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, and attempted escape.
