A former assistant principal at Richneck Elementary in Newport News, Virginia, was indicted last month on eight felony counts following an incident where a 6-year-old student brought a gun to school and shot a teacher. Ebony Parker, the accused administrator, faces charges of child abuse and disregard for life as determined by a Special Grand Jury on March 11.
Court documents reveal that Parker, who was responsible for the students' well-being at Richneck Elementary, allegedly committed acts or omissions that displayed a reckless disregard for human life. Each felony count carries a potential sentence of up to five years in prison.
