No students were injured in the shooting at Richneck Elementary School, police said. The teacher — a woman in her 30s — suffered life-threatening injuries. Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew told reporters that her condition had improved somewhat by late afternoon.“We did not have a situation where someone was going around the school shooting,” Drew told reporters. “We have a situation in one particular location where a gunshot was fired.
Richneck has about 550 students who are in kindergarten through fifth grade, according to the Virginia Department of Education’s website. School officials have already said that there will be no classes at the school on Monday.

But if the teacher had been given a gun (as some idiots have suggested) they could have, uh…shot a 6 yr old? 🤦🏼♂️
Start writing about cops the way you do 6 year olds please
What the fuck
::sigh::
Too bad there wasn’t a GOOD 6-year-old boy with a gun to take care of the BAD 6-year-old boy with the gun, amirite?!?!?
To be fair, the 6 year old needed a gun in case the US government attacked and drone striked him
But keep pushing gun culture...
This is a combination of failed and irresponsible parenting, lack of gun laws, and the gun culture in the US. There is no way a 6 year old can comprehend the severity of this. The parents should be charged, the child needs a therapist, and the US needs strict gun laws. Period.
The parents should be arrested immediately.
6y.o. 😬
What? This is insane.
USA - what’s going on there?
What the fuck
NRA spokesperson - 'The only way to stop a bad 6 year old with a gun is by making sure all the good 6 year olds have guns' ...
If only the teacher was armed like Rs were asking
Dammit, where's the good guy with a gun when you need him? If only the teacher had been armed. Or his classmates.
allthruthetown WTAF kid could have killed the teacher and other kids. What is wrong with people leaving guns accessible to a child.
show and tell is a lot different than when i was in school
What kind of coward ass teacher doesn't draw down on a first grade banger with a gat?
Charge the parents with attempted murder.
Thoughts and prayers 🖕
So… is there a ‘stand your ground’ angle here?
Japanese cybertorturer enjoys showing me his number-tampering which hints he remote controlled the student and the teacher to perform his childlike resentment for MSM who ignore his microwave terrorism.
radiohicksie I just posted this story. Was praying for a typo. His parents should be ashamed of themselves. I blame ibuprofen.radiohicksie
Wow. Wtf...just read this. Craaaaazyy.
Just another normal day in the greatest country on Earth!
MERICA
What in the absolute fuckin America is this?
Nothing will change.
Why didn't the teacher have a gun to protect herself..!?!
This is an unforeseen but unsurprising outcome of the right’s love affair with guns and vigilante justice. And now thats percolated down to their children who have access to guns and an axe to grind and are taught to take justice into their own hands. Because …
The parents are the problem
Well, it is Newport News…been a crap hole for years.
🥹😳😱
“The only way to stop a bad 6 year old with a gun is a good 6 year old with a gun. Arm the children!!!” - Wayne LaPierre at the next NRA convention probably
This is normal for areas that glorify everyone having a gun without actually caring about how deadly they are. A lot of gun deaths from children are usually them thinking this is just like playing around with a toy gun. Doesn't help that toy guns now look real
A little 2A patriot! 🇺🇸 🙏🏼
they are investigating where a SIX year old could have potentially obtained a firearm lmao. jesus fuckin’ christ.
So a “good guy with a gun” was supposed to be there and shoot the 6 yr old to prevent this? The guns aren’t the problem?
Too many adults are sloppy at securing their guns. They need to do jail time
Sweet country you guys got there
JFC, welcome to America
jfc America.
If teachers had guns, that criminal would’ve never gotten that shot off.
Least bloody day in the US
Like people are all law abiding gun owners storing their guns properly. Not even!
What the fuuuuuck
VA has no laws requiring guns be stored a certain way .
Arrest the parents and stop voting in Republicans who won't allow gun change
Murica
Parents need to go to jail.
They are sure the 6 yr old brought the gun ? Was it the teachers ? This is so tragic .
This is what the National Rifle Association wants. More guns. More carnage. More funerals...
Keep grooming your kids to be killers right wingers SMH
NRA: 'The only thing that can stop a bad 6yo with a gun is a good 6yo with a gun.'
Six? SIX? Wtf...immediate reaction is to arrest the parents
Charge the parents and throw their asses in jail!
People are breeding monsters 😡
ElectProject jfc america
What!?!? No drag queens we’re involved!? I thought drag queens were the “big bad”? Oh, well…
More guns is the answer? Or is there a better solution like the rest of the half civilised world has?
Poor kid is going to remember this for life.
‘Murica.
I hope they prosecute the stupid parents!
JonLemire An altercation between a 6YO and a teacher. What was the altercation?
Governor GovBillLee has done all he can to guarantee more guns in more schools and public places in Tennessee. SenJohnson heartily supports his efforts. Coincidentally, TN has a deficit of well over 10,000 teachers this year.
The NRA will say if the school teacher was armed, she could've shot the 6 year old first! Maybe, just maybe some gun control might be an idea?
Has the parent(s)/guardian of the six year been detained? How does a six year old obtain a handgun, let alone pass a background check? Hope the teacher fully recovers.
More proof the NRA's and MAGA/GOP solution to prevent gun violence doesn't work
Gosh it's almost like maybe every person in the country shouldn't be allowed access to deadly weapons
cynthiaccox Arrest the parents
Well well well I hope my fellow Americans are starting to realize that mass availability of guns will result in tragedies like this. A good guy with a gun wouldn’t stop a bad guy with a gun in this case. This is a clear example why America needs less firearms and gun control.
Armed the teacher now. 😁
Arrest the patents!!!
Wowwww…. Parents should be ashamed and jailed
JonLemire GOP solution: Let all the children open carry. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
JonLemire Now we have to lower the bar again and worry about kindergarteners. Where are they getting these ideas from?!
If teachers were armed they could shoot first.
Thanks, Republicans!
Americans, Being Americans, Nothing to see here move along...
Totally normal country.
USA USA!!!
JenniferJJacobs So shocking. Not.
Time to start charging parents.
What kind of altercation does a teacher get in with a damn 6 yrs old? No 6 yrs old in history has ever thought of this even unless they have absolute dog s**t for parents.
I’m sure video games continue to help…
Charge the parents with accessory to attempted murder and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. As for the kid? Tough break, send him to an orphanage since he's not of age for juvenile detention in the state of Virginia, yet. When he reaches 14, send him off. No exceptions
Charge the parents. Send both to jail. I don’t even want to think of the shitty world that kid has to live in, to hear you all complain “we’d be taking the kids from the parents if they both go to jail”. The kid deserves something else. Those parents are something else.
How does this even happen?
Hello , we can help you get your Twitter account verified: The permanent and legal blue tick next to your username Are you interested?
GaModerate Omg! Where did he get a gun!
JenniferJJacobs Dear God
damn..🙁 smh at my country
Arrest the parents.
First grade. And that's America for you.
Why does a 6 year old know how to use a gun in the first place?
Gun safety laws a must. Parental oversight & responsibility a must. Think about it - a 6 year thinks of a gun to settle a grievance - against an adult.
How they get the gun
Not an accident, 6 years old. Now let's talk about dangerous grooming and indoctrination here. Not just being this capable with a gun but being this willing to kill your teacher in this way. It takes a level of despondance to do this to another human. Parents should be charged.
Start by looking at the top video games on the market. And the movies parents allow their kids to watch. They are full of violence and the more kills to win the game or story of the movie. All on the parents 100%. Kids are numb to violence. A six-year-old?..Geez
People didn’t realize that the downward trend of the USA is accelerating. The end game probably a free for all. Who benefits? The next in line wouldn’t be Europe. But there’s a couple of obvious countries ready to become king once it happens.
“That teacher ask me to spell that word……they gonna catch lead.”
What will happen tothe 6 yr old? Do they make him/her go to juve?
f*ckin hell...
Child. A child.
Joe Biden America.. typical
When the 'active shooter' incident is a six-year old with a gun shooting his teacher, IT IS ABOUT THE GUNS!
A 6-year-old child. The normal way to describe a 6yo is as a child.
Some parents are in trouble tonight~
SIX?! We are so severely broken as a country...these are such grim times.
If only the teacher had been armed to defend herself from that little monster /s
Omg, what a garbage country that would rather have 6 year olds shooting people rather than having the sensible laws every single other country has.
Name not yet to be released because it is a 6yr old child but you can rest assured that the child will be at the next Republican convention and is expected to receive at least 3 GOP votes for speaker tonight.
Ts n Ps
Shame on the parents.....I was given a shotgun for hunting on my 8th birthday and was taught how to use and care for it. First by most parents and family, then by the states Department of Natural Resources in a safe hunters class. Teach your children People....
Everyone should have healthcare. We Need National MedicareforAll Single Payer.
And where did the kid get the gun - no doubt parents not locking it up. Looks like entire family should be locked up
brooklynmarie Bad parenting is Rittenhouse all over this attempted murder.
ARREST THE PARENTS 😡
ElectProject
😳
The fact that guns are so normalized in these communities is an issue. I'd never even seen a gun until I was 27 ( grew up in NZ and not rurally)
Badass4Mothers 😳😳😳
Well, it's Newport News, so it not that surprising.
Just another day in the land of the free!
Should have given the teacher a gun, that's the solution! /s
Say all you want about guns, this is 100% a household and parental issue
When will people learn to keep their guns outside the reach of children? Please store your firearms in a safe or at the very least use a trigger lock. The life you save may be your own. GunSafety
insanity.
How? I have a 6yrs old 🤦♀️
Be a first grade teacher they said. You won’t have to deal with those high schoolers and all those serious issues they said.
JeffreyLuscombe 👀 'Murica
Is the school not a gun free zone
Press charges against the parent
A seventh grader at MacArthur Middle School on Ft. Meade in Maryland brought a gun to school yesterday. Fortunately he didn’t use it. In a country with more guns than people we shouldn’t be surprised.
It’s not the Guns! 🤔
Only in America lmao
See. If she was just trained and armed like the NRA wants, she could’ve gunned down the kid first!!
from the article….the shooting was not an accident’ 6yr old brought a gun to school to settle a score with a teacher and she has a life threatening injury
“We did not have a situation where someone was going around the school shooting,” Drew told reporters. “We have a situation in one particular location where a gunshot was fired.” - oh I guess that ok then…wth
JFC… Charge the parents/guardians for even allowing this situation to be possible to begin with…
Damn…teach ‘em young I guess
But we definitely don’t need tighter gun control measures in this country
How does a 6 year old get a gun, and how does he know how to use it that well? And are his parents being charged, because someone both gave him access and showed him how to use it.
This is why I still support capital punishment. Not for the boy, of course. That would just be cruel. But parents that would raise such a monster? They gotta go… (Okay, maybe not really. But Jesus, Mary and Josefina, that is some pathetic parenting right there!)
I have no words for this. Absolute madness
Wth
An altercation? Whhhaaaattt
“We should have the other six year olds strapped to prevent this!!” - republicans
Hee, what could possibly go wrong with “shall not be infringed upon”. Our founding fathers didn’t list a minimum age?
The parents of any 6 year old with a gun should be locked up
Charge the parents.
So, when the gop wants teachers with guns, is it to shoot a 6 year old? And imagine THAT self-defense case in court
dude… 6 years old ?
6 years old... what has this poor child seen already in their very few 6 years?
I had to reread this about 3 times... How is this our reality?
Come again?
You’ve got to be fucking kidding
Horrifying
I wonder if Governor Youngkin will be as concerned about this as he was about CRT in the schools. Nah, what was I thinking…
None of this would have happened if the other 6-year-olds also had guns.
The only thing that can stop a bad 6 year old with a gun is a good 6 year old with a gun
Humanity has failed
WHO GAVE THE KID A REAL LOADED WEAPON?
His parents are where?
This whole family needs to be jailed
We have lost all sense of humanity. And, the media have a huge part in our dire loss of civilized behavior.
You get what you sew now reap your world 🌎
Did I read this correctly!!!
Conservatives: “If only there were more first grade, good boys with guns, this would’ve never happened.” 🤷♂️
Press charges now
Totally normal experience for such a seasoned member of a well-regulated militia.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
I wanna hear that lil sharpshooter's side of the story.
Wtf a 6 year old have a gun for?
Arrest the PARENTS, ffs.
This is the gun pushing GOP America.. taking pictures with their families holding guns - teaching them this is how you solve problems !! A super power devouring itself - as the enemies laugh
Jesus Christ...6yr/old ?!?! Parenting fail.
Where'd the child get the gun? When do those adults get charged?
