-Lurid Crime Tales-
Student, 6, stole mom's gun from home and put it in backpack before shooting his TEACHER during class: Child shot single bullet through woman's hand and CHEST - and boy is now being detained in medical facility
2023-01-10
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Abby Zwerner, 25, was shot by a six-year-old student in her Richneck Elementary School classroom on Friday

  • The single bullet went through her hand and chest, police confirmed today

  • Zwerner is now in stable condition and the child is in a medical facility

  • The gun was the child's mom's - purchased legally - and he brought it to school in his backpack
She was giving her first grade class instructions when the child pulled the gun out of his backpack and shot her.

Zwerner was reportedly attempting to confiscate the gun from the young child when he shot her.

The six-year-old 'combative' boy was physically detained by another school employee following the shooting - who he then hit, police confirmed.

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew said on Monday afternoon that more facts have to be gathered before the department can determine if charges will be filed against the boy's mother.

#7  I wonder if the kid had never been taught trigger discipline (HA!) and had his finger on the trigger when the teacher pulled it away? Didn't she see where it was pointed?

#6  No, you're right, she checks many boxes.

Kool-aid hair, stupid nose ring, crayon tatoos, garb, never been outside....I can almost hear the voice inflections.

Dollar down she tried to tell this boy he is a girl?

#5  Saw a couple of pics of the teacher - if she came at me, I'd shoot her, too.

Note: before the usual suspects who have no snark gene jump on me, I'm not supporting a kid who comes to class strapped nor his mother who apparently leaves her hardware laying around.
