The teacher was a lot braver than I would have been. If I knew a student had a gun, ain't no way I'd stay and teach!
To ignore the teacher and allow the student to stay, that's just ignorance and neglect.

"A Virginia teacher who was shot by a six-year-old student during class will sue the school district, the teacher’s attorney announced Wednesday.

Diane Toscano, a lawyer for Abigail Zwerner, said Wednesday that on the day of the shooting, concerned teachers and employees warned administrators three times that the boy had a gun on him and was threatening other students, “but the administration could not be bothered.”

Police Chief Steve Drew has repeatedly characterized the shooting as “intentional,” saying the boy aimed at Zwerner and fired one round, striking her in the hand and chest. Zwerner was hospitalized for nearly two weeks but is now recovering at home, a hospital spokesperson said."

Ignorance, neglect and all that good stuff.... the gun was not locked up and these parents knew the child had an "acute disability" and that gun should never have been able to be accessed.

Don't blame a gun for what others did wrong.
I won't argue this with anyone. I just don't believe this would have happened if people had been doing things right.
