The critically injured teacher is still hospitalized but doing better, the Virginia mayor said.
Police tape hangs from a sign post outside Richneck Elementary School on Jan. 7.RICHMOND, Va. — A Virginia teacher who was critically injured when she was was shot by a 6-year-old student in Newport News is showing signs of improvement as authorities struggle to understand how a child so young could be involved in a school shooting, the city’s mayor said Saturday.
Police on Saturday declined to describe what led to the altercation or any other details about what happened in the classroom, citing the ongoing investigation. A juvenile judge would have authority, though, to revoke a parent’s custody and place a child under the purview of the Department of Social Services.“We are ensuring he has all the services that he currently needs right now,” Jones said.
