"Virginia Boy's Mother Sentenced to 21 Months for Son's Shooting Incident"

The mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in Virginia has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for using marijuana while owning a firearm. The boy used his mother's gun to shoot his first-grade teacher, who has filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school district. The mother pleaded guilty to using marijuana while owning a gun and lying about her drug use on a federal form. Prosecutors argued that her chronic drug abuse and the shooting incident warranted a prison sentence, while her attorneys requested probation and home confinement, citing her mental health issues. The boy's grandfather currently has custody of him.
