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.

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.
Exactly, and on this day the parent was not present with the child in school. Did the parent set up / use the child to shoot the teacher? Did the parent giver the gun to the boy that morning? That boys hate and aggression was learned from home.

I worked with children just like this child in a locked psychiatric hospital . They , for the most part developed their aggression from within . It was not always learned from home. There are people who are born with absolutely no conscience, morals, inhibitions or empathy for others in their makeup . They are true sociopaths. Generally even years of intense therapy and medications fail to correct their problems. The best we as society can hope for is that they are confined in a locked secure facility so as to do no harm to the public .

That is a description of a person with fetal alcohol syndrome. Mom was getting drunk while pregnant. There is an epidemic of fetal alcohol syndrome among certain minority groups today in America.

In the old days I think we referred to them as a bad seed.

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.
Remind me of a former friend's young son a few years ago, who said he wanted to be a detective when he got older. Why? So he could shoot people he didn't like, and get away with it. He was around 8 or 9 at the time. Probably wasn't a bad idea on my part to break off contact with that particular family, and them having moved out of state a couple years back, I hope they've got that kid some help.
