6 years old is a baby. When I was 6yrs old it was ma'am and sir. I played with cars and trucks and only cap guns.
I look back to when my children were 6, when my grandchildren were 6, I just can not imagine such a thing as what has happened. Prayers for all.

This is a perfect example of where the parents should be held accountable. Great case to show gun owners they have a responsibility to secure their weapons or be held liable.

At that age I could shoot a cap buster with the best of them and shoot at a lot of Indians. Never ever thought beyond make belief.

Any bets on how many "shooter" video games this kid has played? They tell us those games have no influence on behavior.
Yeah, right. They also insist that seeing anything related to sex makes kids into sexual predators.

Sad for sure. Kids do not understand what really comes from a gun. The parent… yes I will bet it’s a single moms gun … is to blame.

"Experts said a school shooting involving a 6-year-old is extremely rare, although not unheard of, while Virginia law limits the ways in which a child that age can be punished for such a crime."
Who has ever heard of this before?

Is this a hate crime?

I'm wondering if the school is spinning this as totally the child's fault when there is more to the story? It may come out when video is released to lawyers.
Reports are that the teacher was shot through the hand and then her upper chest.
What I'm wondering is if the "altercation" that is now reported as an "interaction" is the 25 year old teacher going into panic mode and trying to take the pistol from the child which resulted in the trigger being pulled by either her or the child.
Methinks there is more to the story. We may never know.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) — The 6-year-old Virginia student who shot and wounded his teacher pulled the handgun from a backpack and shot her while she was teaching his first-grade class, a police chief said.
Watch the update in the player above.
Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew on Monday offered the first description of how the shooting happened. He had previously said that the shooting was not accidental and declined to elaborate.
He said the student pulled the gun out, pointed at the teacher and fired at her. He said there was no physical struggle over the gun preceding the gunshot. No students were injured.
Drew said that the gun had been legally purchased by the child’s mother in York County. It was in the child’s residence, he put it in his back pack and brought it to school, the chief said.

The teacher who was wounded Friday in the shooting, Abby Zwerner, was in stable condition Monday at an area hospital. Describing her as a hero, Drew said he had spoken to her and one of her biggest concerns was for her students.
Drew said after the shooting, the boy was physically restrained by a school employee and that he struck the employee. The boy was taken away in a police car.

I wonder if this teacher (Abby Zwerner) was one of those indoctrinating kids to become trans?

At six years old there really is no reasoning in a child, and at six years old a child is just starting to understand right from wrong. This act of violence he carried out I’m sure was planted at home in his up bringing some how. I’m no psychologist but I do believe in monkey see monkey do.

With all due respect, that's painting with a pretty broad brush.

@jimdeere a lot of our members have very broad brushes they like to use, even though they have no idea what they are gonna paint....

I can go along that statement

I can't blame the 6 year old kid at all. I've never met a 6 year old who had the power to reason let alone understand the harsh reality of shooting someone. This is a failure of his parents. No more, no less.
