WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Lawmakers are now calling for a full investigation by the Department of Education after a third grader's traumatic head injury during gym class in Brooklyn.

The injury landed Gao in the hospital.

The family's attorney says they still do not know exactly what happened to Gao, and how he was hurt.
