#Virginia #Shooting #Guns

No such thing as a baby when they can hold a gun ask any veteran that was deployed.
only in america
America: Allowing gun
also America: Why is there gun
Kid has a tough life ahead of him
Average American school
This is America
How????
6 year old…
The parents should be charged.
Crazy how NO ONE is talking about holding the kid accountable and only the parents or even the teacher. Children are capable of EVIL even with good parents.
I think it's RARE but it does happen. Irresponsible he had access to a gun. But u don't even know if it was his parents gun.
He could have found it, or got it other ways.
People so quick to pass judgement.
Murica…
Sees title of the video in recommended
Team America OST starts playing in my head.
IF THE TEACHER HAD A GUN SHE COULD DEFEND HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some conservative on this case
My question is how'd they get the gun🤔
HOW ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DID A FREAKING 6 YEAR OLD GET A HOLD OF A HANDGUN?
So why are they concealing the 6 yrs old identity???????
What race is this 6 yrs old….. what race is he???????
When did an altercation get verified?
Wild.
For those concerned about the child being in custody, from other reports, what that means, in this case, is that he was taken to a medical facility for psychiatric evaluation. Because he is so young, he cannot even be legally detained in juvenile justice facilities, so he's not going to be incarcerated in any kind of jail. For those who assume that the teacher did something that somehow made the shooting a reasonable reaction, she was, at the time, finishing up a lesson, saw the child pull out the gun out of his backpack, and he shot her while she was attempting to take the gun away from him. She made sure the other children in her first grade class had gotten to safety before going for help for herself, even though she was injured badly enough that she's still in critical condition, although she is improving. She's 25, so she's likely in her third year of teaching. Some of the other children in the classroom at the time are calling her a hero, as are her principal and the cops. From her hospital bed, he's also been asking whether her other students are okay after what happened. The fact that some people are so quick to assume that she may have done something that made it reasonable for one of her first graders to shoot her speaks to why schools are having a very hard time finding quality teachers anymore. If you can be shot by a six year old student you're trying to disarm and make sure your other students are safe before getting help for your own critical injuries, only to have strangers on YouTube start speculating that you did something that made the child shoot you….well, that could be discouraging to say the least. Especially given that some six year olds can become irate over things that adults, or even other children their own age, don't find worthy of that much anger and certainly not enough fury to shoot someone over them.
Lol a 6 year old
Obvious the race of the kid. Very obvious
Why are the parents not in custody? Disgusting
Totally irresponsible parent; should be punished to the full extent of the law.
In uk, in my school we had and still do have metal detector inspection by a person upon entrance for having phones. USA doesn’t even do that for guns!
USA such a failed country. Sorry not sorry
americans always defending their gun laws yet they have the worst gun shooting out of all countries that has stricter gun laws
so you just going to let yo son have a gun bro be a better parent!nah this is crazy
Imagine being born into this world just to be taken out of it by a six year old
Atleast nobody died. That's one brave teacher
Wtaf
Fortnite irl
Kids are getting dumber & more selfish really fast, well, who didn't see this coming, derp.
I'm surprised a six year old didn't break his arm when handling literally ANY FIREARM . Like Where's the logic?
Alright… Who gave the six year old the gun?
Why are the parents being protected by the media??????
i think that family should not be allowed to have any weapons anymore
He'll go on to be a rap sensation
"How do you plead"
"Dindo nuffin"
he played too much fortnite
still giding the racial hate n motivation from the family
blame guns not the racial hate n motivation n mental illness on children from crt lgbtq n lies from schools…mentally poisoning our children
We're starting out the first month of 2023 horribly.
