Rosalie List, a coworker at Richneck Elementary School, wipes a tear while speaking during a vigil for Abby Zwerner, the teacher shot by a 6-year-old student, in front of the Newport News Public Schools Administration Building on Monday. The staff of a Virginia elementary school never notified law enforcement they had received a report that a student might have a gun on campus, beforeArrowRight
School officials also did not respond to a query about why they did not tell police they received a report of a possible gun on campus. Virginia law requires schools to notify law enforcement of anyone caught carrying a firearm, butdoes not appear to require them to alert authorities when they receive a report of a firearm.
The six-year-old intentionally shot first-grade teacher Abigail Zwerner around 2 p.m. on Jan. 6 as the school day drew to a close, police said. The boy had the gun on him at the time and fired a single round as Zwerner was in the middle of a lesson, police said. The bullet struck her hand and chest and she was rushed to the hospital where she remains in stable condition. A motive remains under investigation.

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!🙏
