TL;DR Summary

A Virginia teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old student in January is suing school administrators for $40 million, alleging they ignored warnings from staff and pupils that the boy had a gun. The teacher claims that school leaders knew of the student's history of attacks on pupils and teachers and allowed the boy to return to school after he was removed for violent behavior. The boy's family said in a statement that the handgun he used "was secured" at home, that he suffers from an "acute disability," and under a school care plan, one of his parents went to classes with him each day.
