Mother of 6-Year-Old Shooter Receives 2-Year Prison Sentence for Child Neglect

Deja Taylor, the mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in a Virginia elementary school, has been sentenced to two years in prison for child neglect. Taylor had previously pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the incident. The boy brought a gun to school and intentionally shot his teacher, causing injuries. Taylor's attorney argued that other individuals should also be held accountable, and cited her mental state and history of domestic abuse as mitigating factors. The teacher has filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school district, alleging negligence.
