Prince William County, Va
. –– The man accused of shooting a high-powered rifled inside a community college in Woodbridge is expected to make a plea in court today.

Jason Michael Hamilton, 21, accused in the 2009 shooting inside Northern Virginia Community College’s Woodbridge campus is due in a Manassas courtroom at 10 a.m.

The Associated Press last week reported Hamilton and his layers were working on a plea deal.

The alleged shooter has received a mental evaluation, and Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney has said he believes Hamilton has mental issues, but is not insane and is able to stand trial.

Police charged Hamilton in December 2009, after they said he walked into the four-story building off Neabsco Mills Road and fire shots at a math professor.

The bullets missed their targets and no one was injured. The rifle jammed and Hamilton surrendered to a campus security officer, police said.

Following the shooting, college officials commissioned an after-action report about the shooting that stated it took up to 40 minutes before text messages and other notifications were sent to other students, staff and faculty at other NVCC campuses.
