Mother of child who shot teacher pleads guilty to gun crimes.

Deja Taylor, the mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in Virginia, has pleaded guilty to federal gun charges. Taylor was charged with illegally using drugs while owning a firearm and making a false statement about using marijuana when she purchased the gun. She could face up to 25 years in prison on the federal charges, but a negotiated plea agreement calls for a sentence of 18 to 24 months in prison. Taylor's son shot first-grade teacher Abby Zwerner in January, and Taylor was also charged in state court in connection with the shooting.

Deja Taylor, mother of 6-year-old shooter, faces new federal gun charges.

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.

Mother of 6-year-old Virginia school shooter arrested for child neglect.

Deja Taylor, the mother of the 6-year-old boy who shot his elementary school teacher in Virginia, was arrested on child neglect and weapons charge Thursday after turning herself in to the police. Taylor’s arrest comes more than three months after police say her 6-year-old son shot and wounded his first-grade teacher, Abby Zwerner, as she sat in her classroom at Richneck Elementary School on Jan. 6. Zwerner has recovered from her injuries but filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school system last week, accusing school officials of gross negligence and of ignoring multiple warnings from teachers and others that Taylor’s son had taken her gun to school that day.
