Mother of a six-year-old who is your teacher sentenced to prison

The mother of the 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in Virginia, Deja Taylor, has been sentenced to 21 months in prison. The charges are related to using marijuana while owning a firearm. This follows an incident earlier this year where her son shot first-grade teacher Abigail Zwerner with Taylor's gun at Richneck Elementary in Newport News. In addition to this federal case, Taylor pleaded guilty to child abuse in a state-level case and is awaiting sentencing in December. Prosecutors emphasized that this case involved severe consequences due to the combination of drug use and firearms, highlighting an earlier incident where Taylor shot at her son's father. Taylor's defense argued for a lighter sentence, focusing on her addiction and remorse. Taylor's family members have expressed hope for her rehabilitation and future.
