Oh man, all of that is so screwed up. I hope everyone involved with that horribly incorrect and dangerous decision making is appropriately punished. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

6 years old and your child is THAT out of control. Fail all around.
Imagine you send your FIRST GRADER to school and they get threatened by their classmate with a gun. Eff that.
Throw away the whole family. Idgaf _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same." |

More details:
1) School superintendent fired:
Quote: | The announcement came the same day the school board voted to oust the district's superintendent, as parents and teachers called for accountability in the wake of the shooting.
|
Quote: | The press conference came hours before the Newport News School Board held a special meeting to vote on a separation agreement with Newport News Public Schools Superintendent George Parker III.
The board voted 5-1 to relieve Parker as superintendent "without cause," effective Feb. 1.
|
2) Teacher’s condition: She’s at home but the bullet is still lodged in her body:
Quote: | She is now home recovering, "but the road to recovery will be long," Toscano said.
|
Quote: | Zwerner sustained a gunshot wound to the chest when a 6-year-old student brought a gun into a classroom at Richneck Elementary School and intentionally shot and wounded her, according to police. A bullet remains lodged in her body, according to Diane Toscano, Zwerner's lawyer.
|
3) Timeline of events:
Quote: | At around 11:15 to 11:30 a.m., Zwerner went to a school administrator and told them that the 6-year-old had threatened to beat up another child that day. The administration did not take action or remove the student from the classroom, according to Toscano.
|
Quote: | At 12:30 p.m. a teacher told a school administrator she searched the 6-year-old's backpack for a gun and told the administration that she believed the boy put the gun in his pocket before going outside for recess.
The administrator downplayed the report and responded that the boy has little pockets, according to Toscano.
|
Quote: | Shortly after 1 p.m., a third teacher told administrators that another student who was scared and crying confessed that the shooter showed him a gun at recess and threatened to shoot him if he told anyone, according to Toscano.
|
Quote: | A fourth employee asked the administrator for permission to search the boy but was denied and was told to wait the situation out because the school day was almost over, according to Toscano.
|
4) Looks like child is in custody at a medical facility:
Quote: | Since then, a temporary detention order has been obtained and the child is currently receiving treatment at a medical facility, according to police.
|
5) No one has been charged and the school remains closed:
Quote: | Police said the investigation into the Jan. 6 incident, including a motive, is ongoing and no one has been charged so far. Richneck Elementary School has remained closed in the meantime.
|
6) Gun used was a 9mm Taurus pistol:
Quote: | The 9mm Taurus pistol used in the shooting was legally purchased by the boy's mother, according to police.

There was another story last week that the boy had some ongoing issue (emotional instability?) and that one of his parents was required to attend school with him at all times. That particular day, neither parent accompanied him to school (I think they were traveling).
So the parents broke the rules by letting him go to school that day and the school broke the rules by allowing him to attend without a parent. |
