The mother of a six-year-old Virginia boy who shot and wounded his teacher had a series of miscarriages and post-partum depression in the year before the shooting, her attorney said on Friday, after she was arraigned on charges of child neglect and failing to secure the handgun her son used in the shooting.Police say the boy fired a single shot at his first-grade teacher, Abigail Zwerner, on January 6, striking her in the left hand and chest. She spent two weeks in the hospital and has had four surgeries since the shooting.The Associated Press is not identifying the mother to shield the identity of her son. A grand jury indicted the mother this week, and she was released on a $US5000 ($7500) bond after turning herself in on Thursday.
