Boy aged SIX is arrested 'after he deliberately shot his female teacher inside first-grade classroom at Virginia elementary school, leaving her critically-ill'
Daily Mail ^

A six year-old boy has been taken into custody after he allegedly deliberately shot his first-grade teacher at his Virginia elementary school, leaving her critically-ill.  

Newport News Police have taken a student, who has not been publicly identified, into custody. The female teacher, who is in her 30s, has also not been identified and was taken to Riverside Regional Medical Center. 

'The individual is a six-year-old student and is right now in police custody,' Newport News Chief Scott Drew said at a press conference on Friday. 'This was not an accidental shooting.

'It was in a classroom, an altercation took place there,' he said. 'We did not have a situation where someone was going around the school shooting. We had a situation in one particular location where a gunshot was fired.'

The incident unfolded at Richneck Elementary School, a school for kids aged five to nine, just before 2pm. No children were harmed and police are working to figure out how the child had access to the gun. 

A grandmother of one of the students told DailyMail.com that a student brought 'shiny gold bullets' to school last week, but it is unclear if it is the same child who was taken into custody today.  

A British parent of one of the students, who is currently based in the US as her husband is in the military, is now demanding the town do something about the gun problem. 

'Guns, that's the biggest problem in this country,' she told WTKR. 'Why is there a seven-year-old with a bloody gun? ... How does a seven-year-old have a gun?

'I'm only here because my husband is in the military. Otherwise, I would not have chosen to come to this country.'

It’s nice for comics to feature kids with angry hostile faces all the time.

Look into the parents. Any child this bad was taught to be bad.

Always blaming the gun, the weapon, never the culture.

We’re allowed to beat on guns, but not the disgusting thug culture that blacks in America have developed.

Maybe the teacher was “Bidening” on the kid. Self-defense.

Yes, she can go put her child in a British school in one of London’s most diverse areas…where knives and machetes are symbols of manhood

Then leave. And take your old man with you.

Don’t forget throwing acid. It is much more civilized.

Arrest the parents and throw them in jail.

Parent(s). Plural? That's funny.

“Arrest the parents and throw them in jail.”

I’m guessing you would only be able to find one to arrest.

As for the British woman, we don’t have a gun problem, we have a government welfare-induced fatherless problem.

Must have bought a ghost gun from a gun show where they regularly sell guns to the under 13 crowd.

The check-out line has these ghost guns displayed down at the eye level of 6-year olds.

I”m concerned that they’re concerned about a gun and not about the 6 year old who apparently had zero qualms about shooting someone.
