Metal detectors to be installed in Newport News elementary schools after Virginia teacher shootingSuperintendent George Parker said the city already uses metal detectors and random searches in high schools and middle schools, but not at elementary buildings. 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 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. How about they are in ALL schools? Help our kids stay safe!🙏

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!

Metal Detector to Be Installed at Virginia School Where 6-Year-Old Shot TeacherWhen students return to the Virginia school where a 6-year-old shot a first-grade teacher, the campus will be outfitted with a metal detector. The fact they knew of the gun prior to this happening is just like a recent school shooting where they’d been warned earlier in the day but mommy had to work so kid goes back to class and shoots it up later.
