According to a lawyer for Zwerner, a first-grade teacher, the boy had behavioral issues and a pattern of troubling interactions with school staff and other students. A notice of intent to sue said the boy was given a one-day suspension for breaking Zwerner's cellphone, and returned the next day with a 9mm handgun that he used to shoot his teacher in the classroom while she sat at a reading table.
Zwerner, 25, was seriously wounded in a hand and her chest, but police said she still managed to safely escort about 20 students out of her classroom. She was hospitalized for nearly two weeks. Police said the child's mother legally purchased the gun he used, but haven't specified how he obtained it or if it was safely secured as the family has claimed.
Gwynn told The Associated Press last month that his office had received three binders of information from police in the case. His team is also reviewing police bodycam footage of officers who responded to the scene.the child is unlikely to face charges because of competency concerns, although his parents could be charged with reckless endangerment or child neglect.
He needs to be put in a mental health facility with people who have the training to handle him. He can't go to public school.
Ezekiel 18:20 The person who sins is the one who will die. A child will not be punished for a parent’s sin, and a parent will not be punished for a child’s sin. Those who do right will enjoy the results of their own goodness; evil people will suffer the results of their own evil.
My prediction for that kid…. It’s bound to happen
It’s like they should restrict children from getting a hold of guns. The should ban children from being in the presence of guns. Also, parents should be held liable.
Well, he’s just a baby but clearly he has big problems that need to be addressed bc he’s dangerous and he has a family who is allowing him access to fire arms. This whole family needs to be supervised for the safety of the community.
Americans, you're wild.
He shouldn't. Of course his parents MUST
But his parents should.
The teacher can certainly sue the district for not providing protection for her after multiple issues with this student. It happens all too often in this country. Teachers do not get the support they need from the administration. No wonder so many good ones are quitting.
Why would they consider charged against a six year old? Parents are Responsible
The fact that in America, when George Floyd can be arrested and pinned down for using a fake 20 dollar bill but no cops visiting this kid’s parents or taking away their custody after him almost murdering his teacher is just beyond me.
Virginia has almost no restrictions on gun ownership. This is what Republicans want for every state. More guns is their answer.
Amazing how democrats are supporting criminal behavior, but if the teacher was black and the white what would be the end ?
The parents needs to be held accountable
They had better be. The teacher deserves justice.
The parents need to be prosecuted
Guns for everyone continues to seem like a great idea...what could go wrong 🥴 This kid got access to a gun because of an adult(s)...hold them accountable. That teacher is lucky she's still alive.
Hold the gun owner responsible and get the kid into therapy.
So wrong, and does no good for this child. Who’s the next victim?
An example of black privilege!
Wow guess you can getaway with murder in Va!
Why not?!
监护人会受到刑事指控，被监护人会受到有关处罚。监护人与被监护人把彼此都不当回事，被监护人就该被置于其它有效监护之下。
It’s simple, the gun was not secured. No way. The gun owner is responsible. For negligence, and all that it caused.
I’m guessing no one will be held accountable and this will continue to happen since that’s what happens pretty much every time.
Charge the parents . It was their gun.
We’re going to watch him on ID someday murdering multiple people. Write it down.
Trump would give parents the Medal of Freedom and cheapen it even more
What the actual fuck So guns have more rights than people in the US, and people who use guns to savagely harm other people are not even charged with crimes I’m sorry but this is fucking vulgar. Humans matter more than guns and ammos, folks, and deserve punishment at any age!!
So what gona happen?
Are you fucken kidding me? Is this a joke?
Should be life in prison if intentional. 40 years if unintentional. We’re getting way too soft on crime!
Any guesses as to why?
She looks older than 6
What amazes me is that was even considered. Come on...6 years
Must be a white child
The parents should be charged... their fault 100%
That lid needs to be in an institution
'but haven't specified how he obtained it or if it was safely secured as the family has claimed.' Obviously it wasn't. I have a gun safely locked away and my 6 year old doesn't even know that I have a gun. Responsibility is the issue here.
Lack of Gun control is the root of problem. It is the criminal.
Wtf, He should be charged as an adult
Great! Open season on first grade teachers. NRA is a terrorist organization.
How does a 6 year old get his hands on a gun that his parents claim was safely secured? Why haven't the parents been charged?
Raise a voice for Pakistanis. The fascist government is oppressing the people, see the scenes today in Lahore
In Pakistan, the people are standing for a leader Imran Khan to get their right. People are being tortured for standing with Imran Khan and expiring shells are being used which is also a violation of international laws.
I certainly hope that this boy will be in extensive therapy and supervision. 🙏😢
You get fined if your kid skips school
The parents?
How did the child get the gun? The adults are responsible for the actions of their children. Hold them accountable!
poor teacher gets shot and hospitalized, and Newport News is like 'Oh well...'
Everyone is innocent, you say it takes a village so how can the parents be responsible? There’s son is violent. now he shot his teacher. he needs to be moved to a new village with a better prosecutor
Why the fuck would the child be charged?
I would imagine the adult who owned the gun has some liability 🙄
his parents should be charged
WOW! Guess in Va. children shooting people is ok !
NBCNightlyNews This is a nightmare!
A SIX YEAR OLD HAD A LOADED GUN!!! How can they not think that somehow an adult isn't responsible?!?
Charge the parents.
Repeal the 13th amendment! Solve the problem!
