A 6-year-old student shot a teacher during an altercation at a Virginia elementary school on Friday, police said. No students were injured in the incident at Richneck Elementary School, Newport News police said in a statement.

"This was not an accidental shooting," Police Chief Steve Drew told reporters during an evening press conference.

The chief said the teacher, a woman in her 30s, suffered what he described as a life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital.

The boy was taken into custody, the chief said. No one else was involved in the incident, he said. "We have been in contact with our commonwealth attorney and some other entities to help us best get services to this young man," Drew said.

The chief said a handgun was used in the altercation and he wanted to know where it came from.

The shooting was isolated to a classroom at the school, Drew said.

"This was not a situation where we had a student, or any other individuals, going up and down the halls actively firing in a long shooting incident," Drew said.

Mayor Phillip Jones said the incident "hurts my heart."

"It's a dark day for Newport News," Jones said. "We're going to learn from this, and we're going to come back stronger."

The school district had said parents and guardians could pick up children at the school's gym.

What if the teacher is trying to convince little Timmy to be a girl and the kid shot the groomer in protest.

Clemency is granted.

The school's not even anywhere near the East End. More like the exact opposite.

Still. Interesting.

Placing my bet. Black kid upset that his teacher called his house for misbehaving and caught a whoopin for it.

Before you call me racist. If the story was about him opening fire on his class and killing indiscriminately then I would have said white kid.

The lack of information for this incident raises my eyebrow.

The chief said a handgun was used in the altercation and he wanted to know where it came from.

And watch them not do anything when they find out the gun was illegally acquired.

Young man? The kid was 6 not 16. He's a small child that is still learning how to write sentences.

"It's a dark day for Newport News," Jones said. "We're going to learn from this, and we're going to come back stronger."

What, you guys are going to install metal detectors at the elementary school? Any solutions that are going to be effective needs to involve cleaning up the community. I bet you this isn't the first case of a student bringing a gun to that school.

Just imagine the utter shitshow this would turn into if the kid shot the teacher because they pulled some pronoun shit on him or tried to convince him he was a girl/told him to hide some troon groomer shit from his parents. or because he was being forced to go to see some drag story hour

You will never, ever, ever hear about it, if this is why.

On that note, imagine the even bigger shitshow if the kid was taken to one of those drag story hours and shot the troon doing it because the kid found the whole thing creepy and uncomfortable

You will certainly hear about their White Supremacist (TM) parents grooming their child into violence against the Most Vulnerable (TM) if this is why.

Time for another round of REEEE BLAME THE GUNS! Because that's always been helpful in the past, right? Blaming guns helps to observe mental illness, problems at home, and anything else that could have contributed... right? Oh wait blaming guns literally never helps. From this article:

"Ok, that's the biggest problem in this country. Statistics in the U.K. for crime is zero for guns why is it so bad? Why is there a 7-year-old with a bloody gun? Come on think about it...let's do something. We've got a new governor, let's do something...let's change it, you've got a beautiful country, you've got beautiful people, but what's the problem? Guns. How does a 7-year-old have a gun? That's what I'm pissed off with. I'm only here because my husband was in the military or otherwise, I would not have chosen this country," the mother declared.

There's a video of her rambling on the article, but I'm having difficulties uploading it. Someone should have asked her about her thoughts on knife crime in the UK. I'm surprised she didn't pepper in something about white man bad.

Thanks, I was headed right there.

You don't even need stats like that lol. Public school in Virginia is already enough to make the correct conclusion

Oi I'm going to need to see your pattern recognition loicense.

 

[JackoVerde]

this kid might have been felt up by that teacher or something
a 6 year old kid brought a gun to school, pulled it out on one specific target, one shot and one hit. this is closer to an assassination than it is a school shooting. the kid didn't shoot anybody else either.

 

[NoodleFucker3000]

There's no fuckin way a six year old figured this out with out the help of an adult.

 

[WhiskeyJack]

Something about the Chief’s “hurts my heart” comment makes me think child molestation was involved.

 

[Candlelight Desolation]

There's no fuckin way a six year old figured this out with out the help of an adult.

I don't know... a handgun is small enough for a 6yo kid to handle regardless of recoil. Pull trigger, bullet comes out. Seems like a simple enough concept.

A gun is just a real life point and click adventure.

 

[Grand Wizard Wakka]

How does a 6 year old get a gun, and then get the gun to the school?

SIX YEAR OLD.

 

[William Tyndale]

NNNNNNNo mention of race just yet so we all know the answer.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

This is a truly interesting one. They'll blame video games.

 

[pwnest injun]

It's normal for identifying information to be withheld in criminal cases involving minors. I wouldn't read too much into that part.

 

[KiwiFuzz]

If the kid was middle school age, I'd think more about a chomo situation.

A six-year-old will shoot a teacher for putting them in time out.

I'm reminded of that kid who shot his mom a couple months ago, then went on Amazon and ordered the thing she refused to buy him in the first place.

Y'all are attributing shit like "shame" to a small person who is still probably wrestling with the idea that mommy is a separate person who doesn't exist to feed him tendies.

And edit: We'll know the race if the parents come forward and blame the teacher for getting herself shot.

Still. Interesting.

When in doubt use Census data.

It's 50% Black.

Now on to the sperging on social media.

As expected this shooting has spurred the call for more gun laws but I suspect once the police search the house of the shooter and the parents are depicted to be Black all the desire to talk will evaporate. Now, lets say this redditor gets their way and having an unsecured firearm is punished with a term of longer than one year.


We need more gun laws!

Well, what will happen is that more and more Blacks parents will be arrested and sentenced to prison for more than one year in prison. This will result in progressive activist groups complaining about such desperate racial differences.

Gun Enhancements are racist!

The state lawmakers who backed the Anti-Racism Sentencing Reform Act claim the existing law, which allows prosecutors to seek additional time behind bars, is racist — 89% of the roughly 40,000 inmates serving gun enhancement sentences in California are people of color, according to figures from Restore Justice.

As such, we are just a couple sad Vice, TYT, or other media / influencer videos away from progressives that originally supported the gun enhancement charge reversing and electing a DA that will not prosecute gun enhancements.

No more gun enhancements!

On Dec. 7, 2020, the day he took office, Gascón took aim at two common so-called sentencing enhancements L.A. prosecutors had used to lengthen prison time for tens of thousands of people accused of using guns while committing crimes and/or committing crimes for the benefit of a gang. The overwhelming majority of them were Black and Brown men.
