6-year-old in custody after Virginia teacher injured in elementary classroom shooting

[airborne]

I didn't realise how negligent the school had been, this was a totally avoidable situation:

Has this case not gone to trial yet?

Sounds like he's gonna have many more interactions with criminal justice system in his future...

Trial? POS should have been removed from the gene pool by now

Its almost funny.

You can't charge a 6 yr old and put him on trial, nothing happens to the kid.


The mother of the six-year-old boy was convicted of criminal possession of a weapon, making false statements, and child neglect in relation to the shooting and was sentenced to 3+3⁄4 years in prison.


A jury awarded Zwerner $10 million following a civil trial against Ebony Parker, an assistant principal at the school, which concluded in November 2025.

He’s going to be in one of those body cam videos in about 10 years.

A death row inmate speedrun.

The type of kid you encourage to wander off on a field trip.

He's close to 10yrs old by now, probably already jacking cars and beating up hookers gta style...

The $10bar is apparently being paid by the schools insurer, lawsuits in the US are pretty crazy, R165 million payout.

They tried to find the assistant principal criminally negligent recently but the case was eventually dismissed, weirdly enough after going to trial.

The other side of it.

Sounds like the 6 yr old was a very likeable lad ....

The shooting occurred on the first day after the student had returned from a suspension for slamming Zwerner’s phone two days earlier.

Zwerner testified she first heard about the gun prior to class recess from a reading specialist who had been tipped off by students. The shooting occurred a few hours later. Despite her injuries, Zwerner was able to hustle her students out of the classroom. She eventually passed out in the school office.

This why she also won $10m in a court, ironically.

I don’t blame the kid. It’s his parents I blame.

Lindsay Clancy is the caregiver that he needs.

Yup. This little blank slate has had a lot of garbage dumped onto it from all the wrong people. It's tragic.

Yeah, exactly. So I don’t get the hate the kid is getting. They’re just repeating and behaving how people do in his environment.

The government here is trying to get a law pass that holds parents responsible if their kids get into criminal trouble.

Some kids are just fsckups, come from homes with loving parents, decent upbringing etc etc but the kids just end up terrible, how does one hold such parents accountable?
