TL;DR
A Virginia judge dismissed all eight felony child-neglect counts against Ebony Parker, the former Richneck Elementary assistant principal, ruling the decision on legal principles; prosecutors said she ignored repeated warnings that a 6-year-old student had a gun before the 2023 shooting that injured a teacher, while Parker’s defense argued teachers should have acted, and a prior civil verdict had found her liable and awarded the teacher $10 million.
