Discovery Middle School Shooting Suspect Moved
WAAY 31 News has confirmed that Hammad Memon, the 15 year old boy accused in the shooting death of Todd Brown at Discovery Middle School, is no longer in the Madison County Jail.
According to our sources at the Madison County Sheriff's Department, Memon was transferred from the jail to a mental health facility in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday.

In early July, a judge ruled that Memon should be tried as an adult for the February 5th shooting. Memon's attorney, Bruce Gardner, says the boy suffers from hallucinations and that some doctors believe he may be suffering from the on set of schizophrenia.
