"Ex-assistant principal indicted for child abuse after 6-year-old student shoots teacher"

Former assistant principal at a Virginia elementary school has been charged with eight felony counts, including child abuse and disregard for life, after a 6-year-old student brought a gun to school and shot a teacher. The teacher survived the shooting, and the former assistant principal, Ebony Parker, resigned about three weeks after the incident. The teacher's attorneys claim that the school district failed to prevent the shooting and that concerned teachers and employees had alerted administrators multiple times on the day of the shooting about the student's possession of a gun and threats.
