Former Assistant Principal Charged in 6-Year-Old's Shooting Incident

The former assistant principal of a Virginia elementary school, where a 6-year-old student shot his teacher, has been indicted on child abuse charges related to the day of the shooting, each carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison. The shooting raised concerns about security failures, and the teacher filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school district. The boy's mother was sentenced to two years for felony child neglect, and seven lawsuits were filed on behalf of parents and guardians claiming negligence against school leadership.
