NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—A criminal investigation into staff members at a Virginia school where a 6-year-old shot his teacher could shift to why the troubled child’s disciplinary records disappeared after the violence.

A special grand jury recently concluded its probe into the shooting, which resulted in charges against a former school administrator who is accused of dismissing concerns the boy had a gun. But prosecutors in Newport News said Thursday they’ll continue investigating, including into the missing files.
