Mother of six-year-old who shot Virginia school teacher pleads guilty
By Brandon DrenonBBC News, Washington
The mother of a six-year-old who shot his teacher in a Virginia classroom has pleaded guilty to a charge of felony child neglect, US media report.
Deja Taylor, 26, entered The Guilty plea as part of a deal with prosecutors to lessen the sentencing from up to Six Years to six months.
Her son shot Abigail Zwerner, A Teacher at Richneck Elementary School in The City of Newport News , on 6 January.
Taylor's sentencing is scheduled for 27 October.
As part of Taylor's plea deal, a separate misdemeanour charge of reckless storing of a firearm was dropped.
James Ellenson, a lawyer for Taylor, said his client remains remorseful, although he believes no Prison Time will be the appropriate sentence, Nbc News reported.
" She feels very responsible, feels very bad, " Mr Ellenson told reporters after the hearing.
The Bbc has contacted Mr Ellenson for comment.
Taylor had previously told police she believed The Gun was in her purse, secured with a trigger lock, and that the gunlock key was under her bedroom mattress.
But in her guilty plea she reportedly admitted that The Gun was stored in a way that made it accessible.
An assistant Newport News Commonwealth's Attorney said In Court on Tuesday the six-year-old took The Gun from His Mother 's purse, which was on top of a dresser, according to the Washington Post. The Gun was not secured with a trigger lock, The Prosecutor said.
The Shooting , which made national headlines in January, cast a renewed spotlight on issues of school safety and gun violence.
Ms Zwerner was hit in The Hand and chest, resulting in a weeks-long hospital stay and multiple surgeries. She filed a $40m (£31. 4m) lawsuit against the School District earlier this year.
Newly revealed court documents unsealed in August added additional details about the tragic encounter.
The six-year-old is said to have admitted " I did it" adding " I got My Mom 's gun last night" shortly after The Shooting . The Boy has not been charged.
Taylor had pleaded guilty in June to a federal charge of using marijuana while possessing a firearm. The sentencing in that case is also scheduled for October.
