Daniel Barnes reports for NBC News, based in Washington.

The former assistant principal of a Virginia elementary school where a 6-year-old student shot his teacher last year has been indicted on child abuse charges, court records show. Ebony Parker faces eight counts related to the day of the shooting, according to the online docket, each of which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. A warrant has been issued for her arrest, the docket shows.

” Toscano said in an interview that aired Wednesday on TODAY that Parker “should have called the police after multiple warnings that a child may have a gun.” Breit noted that a student saw the boy take the gun out of his pocket on the playground and reported it to a teacher. When the teacher requested to search the child’s person, “the assistant principal said no,” he said. The boy’s mother, Deja Taylor, was sentenced to two years in December on a state charge of felony child neglect.
