Mother of 6-year-old who shot Virginia teacher sentenced to 2 years in prison for child neglect

Deja Taylor, the mother of a 6-year-old who shot his teacher in Virginia, has been sentenced to two years in prison for felony child neglect. Her son used her gun to critically wound the educator. This is the second sentencing for Taylor, who was also sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for using marijuana while owning a gun. The combination of her state and federal sentences amounts to nearly four years behind bars. Taylor's son obtained the gun by climbing onto a dresser and concealed it in his backpack before shooting his teacher. Taylor pleaded guilty to the neglect charge and apologized to the teacher, who suffered serious injuries and is suing the school system for $40 million.
