6yo shoots teacher.
Teacher and kid get in an "altercation", kid somehow has a gun and intentionally shoots the teacher.
Six years old. I just don't know what to say.
Police: Teacher shot by 6-year-old in Virginia classroom
No students were injured in the shooting at Richneck Elementary School, police said. “We did not have a situation where someone was going around the school shooting,” Drew told reporters, later adding that the gunshot was not an accident. Drew said the student and teacher had known in each other in a classroom setting.

I wonder if this teacher (Abby Zwerner) was one of those indoctrinating kids to become trans?
(And................................) That would warrant her being shot by a 6 year old?
The other photo's of her I have seen, look nothing like that. She had the safety of her students 1st and foremost in her mind AFTER being shot. Evacuating the students was her 1st Priority. I'd like to think that if my kid was in that classroom, that would transpire. Kudo's to the Teacher are due, not Cheap Shots.
IMHO.

@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....
Sounds like someone else here, as well.

I'm not saying it was justification. I am merely speculating based largely on the trend we see in teachers her age. This was the picture circulated in a Fox article apparently pulled from her own Instagram account. I'm not sure what you're suggesting about it.

I'm failing to understand what you think is clear. Do you think I pulled a picture of someone else? Perhaps you're being taken in by the mass media who is very sympathetic to woke liberal teachers that want to paint her in the best light possible? Have you considered WHY the student shot the teacher? I was six once and little that I did back then had zero motivation. Do we blame the parents for his access to guns? Well yes, of course. And that has been said many times even in this thread. I am merely speculating as to the reason a 6 year old would want to harm his teacher in this day and age. Are you satisfied with the "well he was just 6 and didn't know anything about anything" line the media is propagating? I'm not. I don't trust the media at all to be giving us the whole story and frankly I thought you distrusted them too. More than likely they're running interference for her. I hope not. I hope she's not one of those who's trying to indoctrinate kids. But remember where this happened... in a state where the media's darlings were put on notice by the governor.

Apparently there is footage from a hallway camera that shows the 25 year old teacher (who was suffering from two gunshot wounds) making sure all of her students were safely out of harms way before she sought aid for herself.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- In the moments before a 6-year-old Virginia boy shot his teacher, there was no fight, no physical struggle and no warning, authorities said Monday.
"What we know today is that she was providing instruction. He displayed a firearm, he pointed it and he fired one round," Newport News police Chief Steve Drew said.
Drew, who spoke during a news conference, offered the first detailed description of a shooting that shocked the city and was notable even in a country like the United States that seems inured to constant gun violence. Drew had previously said that the shooting was not accidental and had declined to elaborate.
Drew said he wanted to clarify remarks he made just after the shooting on Friday, when he said there was an "altercation" before the shooting. He said it was more like an "interaction" between the boy and his first-grade teacher at Richneck Elementary School, 25-year-old Abby Zwerner.
But Drew also reiterated that the shooting was "not accidental."
"It was intentional," he said.
Drew also revealed that the 9mm handgun used by the boy was legally purchased by his mother and was in the family's home. He said the boy brought it to school in his backpack the day of the shooting.
Zwerner put up her hand in a defensive position when the gun fired, and the bullet went through her hand and into her upper chest, Drew said. Although her injuries were initially considered life-threatening, she has improved and is currently listed in stable condition at a hospital.
Drew hailed Zwerner as a hero for quickly hustling her students out of the classroom after she was shot. He said surveillance video shows she was the last person to leave her classroom.
"She made a right turn and started down the hallway, and then she stopped. ... She turned around and make sure every one of those students was safe," Drew said.

I wonder if she took posession of the gun before she removed the children from the room.

Not sure, but I am impressed she was still up and moving and had the ability to get all the other students out safety. There was another adult who went into the room and restrained the shooter until police arrived

I stopped reading that mess, after a sentence or two @Mr. Perfect. (I don't pay much attention to MSM.)

There's been a lot of discussion about arming teachers . I think that's a decision to be made by each individual school district.
However, training on how to de-esculate an armed confrontation should possibly be mandated for all teachers, pre-school through college.

With the News saying he just pointed it at her and fired makes me think when the student put it in his bag before school he mistook it for a toy.
Still, I think the blame lies with the parent(s), for multiple reasons.

Yeah, that's a tough one. It would depend largely on the situation. I know our enemies in several foreign wars took knowledge of that and used children to attack our soldiers and many who shot back were seriously messed in the head as a result.

The school knew about the gun! Unbelievable!
Superintendent: Official learned of weapon before Virginia shooting involving 6-year-old
A school superintendent says administrators at the Virginia school where a first-grader shot his teacher last week learned the child may have had a weapon in his possession before the shooting but did not seize the 9mm handgun he brought to his classroom in his backpack.0 -
I came across this new information while looking at an article for first time handgun buyers. Yes - I know what the source is and that the parents are trying to cover their backsides - but - it does contain some new information.
First grade shooting: "Acute disability" cited | CNN
Family of a six-year-old accused of shooting a teacher expresses regret, says he was under a care plan, and "the firearm our son accessed was secured."Best Regards - AQH

I read that due to his condition a parent was suppose to be with him at school. but, they were not there. They also state the gun was secured but if he six year old got it was it secured?

A 6-year-old who shot his teacher allegedly told another educator he wanted to light her on fire and watch her die, according to a report.
Last month, the troubled boy nearly made good on his apparent murderous impulses, shooting first grader teacher Abigail Zwerner at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News., Va., officials have said. Zwerner survived.
Zwerner and other Richneck teachers said they had shared their fears about the child’s grave behavior with administrators, only to have their concerns downplayed or ignored, The Washington Post reported.
Zwerner had asked for support with the boy, and expressed concerns about his behavior, teachers wrote in online messages to Newport News Superintendent George Parker III.
“She had asked for help,” one school staff member wrote in the chat.
“Several times,” another added.
The child, who was known to throw furniture and other objects in the classroom, once wrote a note to a teacher in which he told her hated her, wanted to set her on fire to kill her, the teachers union told The Washington Post. When she brought the disturbing letter to school administrators, they told her to drop it, according to the teacher.

Sounds like that kid is need of an exorcism!! 😲

Reportedly the gun was secured in a locked garage and had a trigger lock installed . How did 6 year old access it , remove the lock and hide it from a search ? Lots of things just not adding up .
Multiple problems reported with his behavior in the recent past . The idea of " mainstreaming" special needs kids into conventional classroom settings is deeply flawed.

It is so very surprising and not at all in any way predictable the kid had a history of aggressive behavior that was ignored even though reported.

Now after hearing more about this kid I’m more convinced that there are demons that walk among us.

Do any of you remember this story from 2000
Kayla Renee Rolland (May 12, 1993 – February 29, 2000) was an American six-year-old girl from Mount Morris Township, Michigan, who was fatally shot on February 29, 2000 by a six-year-old male classmate at Buell Elementary School in the Beecher Community School District. The boy had found the gun while living at his uncle's house; the house was a crack house where guns were frequently traded for drugs.
The boy was not charged with murder because of his age
On the twentieth anniversary of the shooting on February 29, 2020, news media reported that the boy who shot Kayla Rolland was living in Bay City, Michigan. According to court records, he had been convicted at age 18 of a felony in connection with charges of second-degree home invasion and larceny at a Bay City house on April 23, 2012.[13]
Evil exists everywhere

Looks like Allen beat me to updating this. I also saw that most days the child had a parent sit in class with him but not on the day of the shooting.
Imagine being a teacher and having a child so disruptive a parent had to stay with him and your boss telling you to ignore the threats.

I'd say the Teacher that was shot, has a pretty ironclad Lawsuit against the School District, if She repeatedly complained and was ignored.
So much for "See something, Say something."
