Ms Zwerner had just finished reading a story to her class who were about to head to an art lesson when the 6-year-old pulled out the handgun last month at Richneck Elementary in Virginia.
A 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot and wounded his first-grade teacher constantly cursed at staff and teachers, tried to whip students with his belt and once choked another teacher “until she couldn’t breathe."
A legal notice sheds light on prior behavioral issues the boy had at Richneck Elementary School and troubling interactions he had with teachers and students.

The teacher who was shot knew the Virginia boy had a gun hours before the incident happened. She and other teachers repeatedly reported the boy had a gun with him.
