Six Year Old Shoots Teacher

6-year-old in custody after shooting teacher in Virginia, police chief says | CNN

A 6-year-old boy is in police custody after he shot a teacher at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, Friday afternoon, Police Chief Steve Drew said in a news conference.

www.cnn.com

The parents of the child say that the handgun was secured yet the child managed to get that weapon past campus security even though it was already well known that the child had special needs and was a known threat to other students. It was claimed that the child's backpack was searched and the firearm "was not found" so I'm assuming the "search" was cursory and not as thorough as it should have been. Lots of questions to answer and lots of blame to go around.

6yr old shoots teacher in Virgina.

I'm suprised that this event hasn't been posted yet. So many questions. How the hell did a 6yr old get a gun? How was the 6yr old able to pull the trigger on a gun? How did the 6yr old know how a gun operates? Why would a 6yr old have so much rage that he would feel the need to shoot his...

Hasn't this been posted before?

Edit:
Can't blame ya, there's been so many shootings since the beginning of the year that it's hard to keep track of them all.

Didn't see it from a cursory search of the front page. If so, my bad, Mods please lock.

edit - I rarely post threads in this forum so imagine that, I've just taught myself how to do a proper search of topics already posted. Mods please lock, my apologies, lesson learned.

That's because it happened in January. It left the news, because, you know kids shooting teachers is just another day in America.

No worries OP, unfortunately so many stories bout shootings and other big news stories. I think the other article might've had an awkward title (or was even posted in some other shooting or other thread) and its been a bit so it probably fell off the front page.

I was wrong, the title actually was pretty exact:

This is why no country will ever physically attack the USA. We can have an army of six year olds that will take care of business.
