The mother of the 6-year-old boy accused of shooting a teacher at a Virginia elementary school last week could possibly face charges, authorities said.
Newport News police Chief Steve Drew told “CNN This Morning” Tuesday that investigators are still in talks with Child Protective Services officials and the school to determine whether the kid had shown any behavioral issues in the past. Charges against the mother are “certainly a possibility,” he added.
Around 2 p.m. Friday, Newport News police responded to a shooting at Richneck Elementary School. The incident occurred after an interaction between the student and his first-grade teacher, authorities said.
