NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The former principal of Richneck Elementary School, where a 6-year-old intentionally shot a teacher last month in Newport News, Virginia, was not informed that the student had a gun at school, according to her lawyer, despite allegations that administrators were warned the day of the shooting.
Briana Foster Newton, the principal, was removed from her position and will be reassigned within the district, according to her lawyer, Pamela Branch.
Branch told reporters Newton has been receiving"threatening voicemails wishing her ill [and] has also been the subject of misinformed social media posts," since the shooting.
