Joplin middle-school student could stand trial as adult:
Authorities in Joplin, Missouri, are seeking to have Thomas White tried as an adult. White is the 13-year-old who brought a MAC-90 assault weapon to Memorial Middle School and fired a round into the ceiling. The gun luckily jammed before any bloodshed could occur.
In related news, White’s father, Gregory, has pleaded guilty today to firearm possession. Since the elder White is a convicted felon, he is not permitted to own firearms. He’s looking at a maximum of 10 years and a possible $250,000 fine.
