The mother of the 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in a Virginia school had new federal gun charges brought against her Monday.
The lawyer for Deja Taylor told Norfolk ABC affiliate WVEC that the mother plans to plead guilty to the charges of unlawful use of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm and making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm.
“Our action follows very constructive negotiations we had with federal authorities,” Ms. Taylor’s attorney, James Ellenson, said in a statement to the station. “The terms of the agreement, which we believe to be fair to all parties, will be disclosed when we enter the guilty plea. That should occur later this week or next.”
Her son used the gun to carry out the January shooting of first-grade teacher Abby Zwerner at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News.
