Student, 6, stole mom's gun from home and put it in backpack before shooting his TEACHER during class: Child shot single bullet through woman's hand and CHEST - and boy is now being detained in medical facility

A six-year-old boy who shot his teacher in Virginia had stole his mother's gun from their home before putting it in his backpack and pulling the trigger during class. 

The Richneck Elementary School student - who is still unnamed - is now being detained in a medical facility where professionals continue to psychologically evaluate him.

Teacher Abby Zwerner, 25, is stable after the life-threatening attack on Friday. She was shot at point-blank range - and the bullet went through her hand and into her chest.

She was giving her first grade class instructions when the child pulled the gun out of his backpack and shot her. Police have confirmed that the attack was intentional, not accidental.  

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew said on Monday afternoon that more facts have to be gathered before the department can determine if charges will be filed against the boy's mother. 

Drew also revealed that Zwerner made sure all of the children in her class were safe and out of the room before she attempted to get help for herself. He said that the teacher's first question when he visited her was 'do you know how my students are.'

The six-year-old 'combative' boy was physically detained by another school employee following the terrifying shooting - who he then hit, police confirmed.

The kid should get a lobotomy. It will save other people from being shot by this person in the future.

There was a time when children were considered little adults and tried accordingly for crimes they committed. Thanks to criminal justice “reforms” from the 60’s onwards, they are now given slaps on the wrist for serious, even life-threatening crimes. If I had to hazard a guess as to why aggravated assaults have skyrocketed since the 1960’s, I’d say it’s because of these reforms. Juvenile offenders given impunity grow up to become hardened criminals.

So why has ag assault per capita tripled, but not murder? Thanks to medical advances pioneered in wartime (Vietnam in particular), trauma units are keeping grievously wounded patients alive that would previously have died.

Assuming she survives, that seems a bit extreme. But a 20-year stretch in adult prison for attempted murder? Sure.

Back in the day children were sent to reform schools.

Wait until this kid and his mama get a million dollar check for slavery reparations. Then it will be time to party!

I hate what’s happening to our nation. Absolutely hate and fear what it’s becoming.

Best of luck to this poor teacher. She’ll get nothing when all is said and done except a measly disability check from the school district. I can’t imagine she’ll be able to teach again, or work anywhere for that matter given all the trauma she suffered.
