A grand jury report reveals shocking negligence by a former assistant principal at a Virginia elementary school, who failed to respond to warnings about a 6-year-old student carrying a gun. The report also states that the assistant principal has been indicted on eight felony counts of child neglect. The incident resulted in the shooting and serious wounding of a teacher.

A former assistant principal at a Virginia elementary school showed a 'shocking' lack of response to multiple warnings that a 6-year-old had a gun in the hours before he shot his teacher, according to a grand jury report released Wednesday. The child was not searched. The child was not removed from class. The police or SRO was not called.

The report also states that the assistant principal has been indicted on eight felony counts of child neglect, one for each of the eight bullets that endangered all the students in teacher Abby Zwerner's classroom. This report provides new details about the January 2023 shooting and serious wounding of Zwerner, which occurred after the boy brought his mother's gun to school in a backpack
