TL;DR Summary

Deja Taylor, the mother of the 6-year-old boy who shot his first-grade teacher in Virginia, will plead guilty to new federal charges related to her owning the gun the boy used. Taylor was charged with illegally using drugs while owning a firearm and making a false statement when she purchased the gun. The boy used his mother's gun and shot the teacher as she was reading to students in her classroom. Taylor's legal team will present "mitigating evidence" they hope will be taken into consideration during sentencing for the new federal firearms charges.
