After a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher in Newport News, Virginia, the town will install metal detectors in all of its elementary schools.

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.Metal detectors will be installed in every school in the Virginia city where a 6-year-old boy shot and wounded his teacher last week, school officials said Thursday.

Superintendent George Parker said on Monday that the city already uses metal detectors and random searches in high schools and middle schools, but not at elementary buildings.Surles-Law said last week's shooting changed that.The Jan. 6 shooting occurred as Zwerner was teaching her class. Authorities said there was no warning and no struggle before the 6-year-old boy pointed the gun at Zwerner and fired one round.

The bullet pierced Zwerner's hand and struck her chest. The 25-year-old rushed her students out of the classroom before being rushed to the hospital. She has improved and is listed in stable condition, authorities said.

Pass federal gun control laws.

How about they are in ALL schools? Help our kids stay safe!🙏

So where did the six year old buy the gun used in the shooting or did he steal it? OMG it belonged to a parent who is a 'legit gun card holder and owner'. Hmmm! I'm sure the gun owner purchased the gun for protection against who I have no idea. Maybe the teacher? Just saying.

Metal detectors in elementary schools… this is what we have become. My kids have to go thru active shooter drills, I believe in the 2nd amendment, but my god there should be reasonable control. How did that child get the gun? Just ranting but frustrated

Elementary school to install metal detectors where 6-year-old shot Virginia teacherMetal detectors will be installed in every school in the Virginia city where a 6-year-old boy shot and wounded his teacher last week. The Newport News School Board said Thursday the board was given the approval to buy 90 walk-through metal detectors. Shouldn't have taken a 6-year-old to make this happen. This should be standard practice at ALL schools. The only way to stop a bad 6-year-old with a gun is with a good 5-year-old with a gun. People throw their guns around the house like remotes. Damn!
