US School Shootings - Six Year Old Shoots Teacher

[Keith_M]

No, you didn't misread the title...apparently a six year old managed to get hold of a gun and, according to the Police, intentionally shot his teacher in a school in Virginia.


The teacher is apparently in hospital with life threatening injuries.

Where was the good guy with a gun? You know, to shoot the 6 year old that had a gun?


These ****ing people, honestly.

The teacher should have been armed.

The teacher should have been armed.

That's possibly where the kid got the gun. Report I saw said the school had metal detection facilities.

The good guy was probably still stuck at nursery for the day.

That's possibly where the kid got the gun. Report I saw said the school had metal detection facilities.

BBC report said pupils were randomly screened.
Regardless, I can't imagine wanting to live in a society where a 6 year old not only has access to a gun, but has the will & ability to use it.

Seen this earlier WTAF, only in the good old U S of A.

No comment yet from Donald Trump, but I'd imagine that's the view of both him and the NRA.

[Jones28]

The teacher should have been armed.

There’s mad *******s out there that will be saying this.

“Teacher in armed stand off with 6 year old”

That country is totally insane

[archie]

It seems the teacher was trying to disarm the kid. What a world. There is a real legal minefield as to how this would be dealt with, given the child's age and relevant gun laws

There's been many shootings since the six year old incident. It all just leaves me cold now, I just can't feel any more empathy for a society that as a whole loves its guns more than its children.

Another one in california.

A family member of mine lives a few miles from there in Pacifica. Bonkers. 39th mass shooting in the US. That’s just in JANUARY. 1,214 gun deaths just since New Years Day. It’s mind blowing. WW2 battlefield casualty levels.

Not related to school shooting or mass shooting but when you have 130 guns per 100 people these sort of stories pop up every now and then, usually unaware kids doing the trigger pulling, this time is it mans best friend!
