Ex-assistant principal on trial in Virginia school shooting case

More than three years after a 6-year-old shot his teacher at Richneck Elementary in Newport News, former assistant principal Ebony Parker faces a three-day criminal trial on eight felony child abuse counts for allegedly ignoring warnings that the student had a gun. A parallel civil case awarded teacher Abby Zwerner $10 million. The boy's mother, Deja Taylor, pleaded guilty to felony child neglect and faces prison time; prosecutors say the boy will not be charged criminally. The cases raise questions about accountability for educators when juveniles commit school violence and highlight ongoing debates about school safety.
