Tyler Durden with Zerohedge reports:
The critically wounded teacher has been identified as 25-year old Abby Zwerner of Williamsburg, Virginia, according to WKTR. Zwerner, a graduate of James Madison University, was transported to Riverside Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
“She is a great teacher who works hard. My son loves her very much, and we’re all very sad about what happened,” said Sebastian Gonzalez-Hernandez, a parent of a Zwerner student, in a report by the New York Post.
According to a parent interviewed by Daily Mail, Zwerner “screamed at her kids to run away” after the 6-year-old boy fired a single shot at her, striking her.
DailyMail also reports that, according to a student’s grandmother, a student who may or may not have been the shooter brought “shiny gold bullets” to school last week and said he was thinking about bringing a gun.
A six-year-old child shot and seriously wounded an elementary school teacher in Virginia on Friday.
The shooting occurred in a first-grade classroom at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News. Police say the shooting took place during an altercation and was not an accident. They have not yet determined how the child gained access to a firearm. Details about the firearm have been withheld.
The wounded teacher — a woman in her 20s whose name wasn’t released — suffered life-threatening injuries. In critical condition from what Fox3 said was an abdominal gunshot, she was said to have seen “some improvement” by late afternoon. No students were injured.
