School administrators were warned 3 times the day 6-year-old boy shot teacher, says lawyer

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Concerned teachers and employees warned administrators at a Virginia elementary school three times that a 6-year-old boy had a gun and was threatening other students in the hours before he shot and wounded a teacher, “but the administration could not be bothered,” a lawyer for the teacher said Wednesday.

She said that around 12:30 p.m., one teacher told administrators that she had taken it upon herself to search the boy’s book bag but warned that she thought he had the gun in his pocket. Toscano said that after 1 p.m., another boy told his teacher that the student had shown him the gun and threatened to shoot him, and that the teacher reported that to administrators.

The shooting raised questions over security at the school and stunned Newport News, a city of about 185,000 people roughly 70 miles southeast of Richmond. Police have said school officials did not tell them about that tip before the shooting, which happened hours later.
