The mother of the six-year-old US elementary school student who shot and seriously wounded his teacher in January has been charged with felony child neglect, a prosecutor in the eastern state of Virginia announced Monday.

In addition to the felony indictment, Deja Taylor was also charged by a grand jury with "misdemeanor recklessly leaving a loaded firearm so as to endanger a child," a statement by the Newport News prosecutor's office said.

The port city's lead prosecutor, Howard Gwynn, said his investigation into the widely-publicized shooting was ongoing, and that he would be requesting the empanelment of a "special grand jury" — a panel of citizens with broad investigative powers — to review the school's security arrangements. According to police, on January 6, the first-grader pulled a 9mm Taurus pistol, which had been legally purchased by his mother, from his bookbag andThe 25-year-old was hospitalized for two weeks with injuries to her hand and chest.

In early April, Zwerner filed a civil suit against school officials, whom she accused of not addressing the boy's violent behavior and allegedly failing to respond to another student's warning that he brought a gun to school. She is seeking $40 million in damages.
