Teacher sues after being shot by 6-year-old student.

A Virginia teacher has filed a $40 million lawsuit against administrators at Richneck Elementary School, claiming they failed to heed multiple warnings that a 6-year-old student had a gun before the boy shot and critically wounded her during class in January. The incident drew national attention and stirred outrage in Newport News, where parents and teachers accused school district officials of failing to safeguard students and educators against violence in the city’s schools after a string of shootings in recent years.
