A former administrator at an elementary school in Virginia has been charged with eight counts of felony child neglect more than a year after a six-year-old first grader shot and injured his teacher.

Ex-assistant principal Ebony Parker, 39, is the first school official to be charged over the January 2023 shooting. Ms. Parker showed “reckless disregard” for human life and committed “a willful act or omission in the care” of students at Richneck Elementary School, according to the indictment unsealed on Tuesday.
