A Virginia teacher who was critically injured when she was was shot by a 6-year-old student in Newport News is showing signs of improvement
as authorities struggle to understand how a child so young could be involved in a school shooting, the city's mayor said Saturday.
The boy shot and wounded the teacher in a first-grade classroom on Friday at Richneck Elementary School, according to authorities. Drew said the shooting was not accidental and was part of an altercation. No students were injured. Jones also declined to reveal details of the shooting, or say how the boy got access to the gun or who owns the weapon.“I do think that after this event, there is going to be a nationwide discussion on how these sorts of things can be prevented.”
A juvenile judge would have authority, though, to revoke a parent’s custody and place a child under the purview of the Department of Social Services.“We are ensuring he has all the services that he currently needs right now,” Jones said.
