Mother of 6-Year-Old Who Shot Teacher Indicted by Grand Jury

The mother of a 6-year-old student who shot his first grade teacher in Newport News, Virginia, in January was indicted by a Virginia grand jury on Monday.

Deja Taylor, the mother of the unnamed student, was charged with felony child neglect and a misdemeanor of recklessly leaving a loaded firearm so as to endanger a child, according to Newport News prosecutor Howard Gwynn.

“Every criminal case is unique in its facts, and these facts support these charges, but our investigation into the shooting continues,” Gwynn said in a statement. . .

The 6-year-old, who has a severe disability, badly wounded his first grade teacher, 25-year-old Abigail Zwerner, at Richneck Elementary School on Jan. 6. The incident occurred after school administrators were warned that the child possessed a gun and was in a “violent mood” at the school. The boy will not face any criminal charges.
