Briana Foster Newton, the former principal of Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, was unaware that a 6-year-old student had a gun on campus the day he allegedly shot a teacher. Her attorney, Pamela J. Branch, said that Newton was not informed by any other administrators of warnings that the student may have brought a gun on campus. The shooting has sparked controversy and raised questions about school safety and the effectiveness of the district's leadership.
