Former official at Virginia school where 6-year-old shot teacher indicted on child abuse charges

The former elementary school assistant principal in Virginia, where a 6-year-old student shot his teacher in the hand and chest, has been indicted by a grand jury on eight child abuse charges.

Ebony Parker, 39, was charged in the case on March 11, according to records that were unsealed on Tuesday, with child abuse and reckless disregard for human life, which is a class six felony.

The charges come after a 6-year-old brought a gun to Richneck Elementary School on Jan. 6, 2023, and shot his teacher, Abby Zwerner. Zwerner said she warned Parker about the student bringing a gun to school multiple times, but the administrator allegedly ignored the warnings.
