Administrators at the Virginia school where a first-grader shot his teacher last week learned the child may have had a weapon in his possession before the shooting, but did not find the 9mm handgun he brought despite searching his bag.

last week learned the child may have had a weapon in his possession before the shooting, but did not find the 9mm handgun he brought despite searching his bag, the school system’s superintendent said.

Michelle Price, a spokesperson for the Newport News school district, declined to comment on the police statement. She said that typically, when school officials receive a tip about a potential weapon or other contraband in the schools, if the tip includes specific information about a particular student or a particular classroom, “that’s where the search starts.”

Police Chief Steve Drew has previously said the boy brought the gun to school in his backpack the day of the shooting. She declined to comment when asked who reported that the boy may have a weapon and whether school officials should have taken additional steps after the weapon was not found in his backpack., 25, was shot in the chest with injuries initially considered to be life threatening. Her condition has improved, though, and she has been reported in stable condition at a hospital.
