"This was not an accidental shooting," Newport News police Chief Steve Drew said.
No students were injured in the afternoon shooting at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, police said in a statement.
The shooting happened in a first-grade classroom, and the child and teacher, who knew each other, were apparently alone, Drew said at an evening news conference.
"The altercation was between a 6-year-old, the student, who did have the firearm, and the teacher, and then a round was fired," the chief said.
I am sure that child has two loving parents that are properly guiding them through life and not letting them have access to violent music, television, and video games at six years of age, right?...
Maybe the teacher was secretly trying to groom the kid and the parents were ignoring the pleas of their kid because they are woke, too, like the teacher?
"Not an accidental shooting" meaning the kid deliberately shot the teacher because he was angry about something? Wow, that's disturbing on so many levels. Is a six-year-old even cognizant enough to understand that shooting someone in real life is not the same as what he sees on TV? We have some serious soul searching to do about guns in this country.

If the child had shown up with a knife, would you have stated, "We have some serious soul searching to do about knives in this county."?
Do not attack the tool, as it is futile to do so. Attack the behavior that causes people to use the tool.
