If you have responsibility, you need authority - if you have authority, you accept responsibility. You get credit, when credit's due - you fail, you pay the price... Anything less is unacceptable.

The teacher that was shot is about to become a very wealthy woman.

Fired is the least thing that should happen.

Qutestions: Who is the shooter? Why has the media not informed the public about the threat to other teachers and students? Who are the parents? How did the shooter obtain the firearm? Should the shooter's parents be arrested, and the shooter enrolled in a prison-like school?

“Whether it was properly secured is a key element in the investigation, he has said…” Let me help you with that. It wasn not properly secured. It got in the hands of a 6-year old. Now continue your investigation from there.

Another case of stellar black single motherhood skills. Like MichelleObama said ' black women rock'.

Posted repeatedly. Why don't you find out and report why this kid's parents still aren't in jail?

The entire admin staff should be fired.

Very poor single parenting. The mother should be charged. The only reason she hasn’t been is because of black privilege.

Sounds like the school fucked up big time. And the teacher should’ve called 911 if she knew he had a gun and the admin wasn’t doing shit.

Forgot to mention the shooter was black and the victim was white. Likely would not be a story if the shooter was not younger than the average thug.

This incident didn’t just arise out of the blue. These parents are vilifying people with “acute disabilities” the vast majority do not go on to carry out extreme violence against others and is obfuscating the issue. What’s up with these parents and this child? Someone knows.

They keep failing to mention the shooter was black and the victim was white.

At the vary least their should be a FEDERAL law that requires gun owners with minors in their care, to secure their firearms.

And STILL, the kid's parents haven't been charged or even arrested. Can anyone explain that?

Removing the principal isn’t enough. Measures must be taken to prevent such incidents from occurring going forward.

Good. Eventually, she’ll be fired. It’s her fault the gun wasn’t confiscated.

I'll never understand how children can be sent back to the same place they witnessed a violent crime and NOT be traumatized and expect to learn. Not healthy for the children.

Have the parents been arrested yet

Just fire her

But not fired. Will he or she go to another school?
