Abby Zwerner was shot by the 6-year-old boy.
A Virginia circuit court judge has dismissed criminal charges against Ebony Parker, a former elementary school assistant principal, in a case connected to a six-year-old boy who shot his teacher in January 2023.
Prosecutors had alleged Parker ignored warnings that the boy had a gun shortly before the shooting, but her defence argued the allegations were not criminal. Circuit Court Judge Rebecca Robinson agreed with the defence in dismissing the case.
"The court is of the legal opinion that this is not a crime," she said.
