A former Virginia elementary school administrator was indicted last month and charged with eight felony counts after a 6-year-old student brought a gun to school and shot his teacher last year.
Ebony Parker, the former assistant principal at Richneck Elementary in Newport News, was indicted and charged with child abuse and disregard for life by a Special Grand Jury on March 11, according to recently released court records.
Parker was responsible for the care of students at Richneck Elementary but committed a willful act or omission in the care of such students, in a manner so gross, wanton and culpable as to show a reckless disregard for human life, said court documents obtained by CNN. Each felony count in Virginia carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.
