6-Year-Old Brags About Shooting Teacher in Virginia School

Recently unsealed police search warrants reveal that a 6-year-old boy in Virginia made statements like "I shot that (expletive) dead" and "I got my mom's gun last night" after shooting his teacher in a classroom last January. The teacher survived but was critically wounded and is now suing the school for $40 million. The boy's mother has been charged with felony child neglect and reckless storage of a firearm. The search warrants also detail the moments after the shooting, with a reading specialist witnessing the incident and the boy being restrained until police arrived. The investigation found that the gun was stored in the mother's purse with a trigger lock, but the child had access to the key. The teacher's lawsuit accuses the school system of negligence and disregarding warnings about the boy's behavior.
