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.
Court records filed in Newport News Circuit Court were unsealed Tuesday, about a month after a grand jury filed the charges.
NBC News could not immediately obtain a copy of the indictment for details of the charges.
The Newport News Commonwealth Attorney's Office did not immediately respond Tuesday to a request for comment. A Newport News Public Schools spokesperson said the district "does not have a statement." It was not immediately known whether Parker had legal representation, and she could not be reached for comment.
