The fallout from the shooting of a teacher by a first-grader in Virginia has prompted a staff shakeup in the Newport News school district.
With the Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Va., set to reopen next week after a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher on Jan. 6, 2023, students and their families were invited to an open house at the school Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023. The students visited with staff and participated in activities. They were greeted by signs reading,"YOU ARE LOVED,""WE LOVE YOU" and"RICHNECK STRONG.
Diane Toscano, a lawyer for the wounded teacher, Abby Zwerner, said this week that on the day of the shooting, concerned staff at Richneck warned administrators three times that the boy had a gun and was threatening other students, but the administration didn't call police, remove the boy from class or lock down the school.and was fired by the school board this week, has said that at least one administrator at the school received a tip that the boy may have brought a weapon to school.
The boy's family has also retained an attorney. Police have said the 9 mm handgun used in the shooting was legally purchased by the boy's mother. The family said in a news release last week that the gun had been “secured.” Their attorney, James Ellenson, told The Associated Press that his understanding was that the gun was in the woman’s closet on a shelf well over 6 feet high and had a trigger lock that required a key.
