6-Year-Old Shoots Teacher at Virginia Elementary School, Police Say

A teacher at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News has “life-threatening injuries” after being shot by one of her students, the authorities said.

"David Riedman... has compiled data on every school shooting... dating back to 1970. He found 16 cases involving shooters under the age of 10. Three of them involved 6-year-old children. Two of those were ruled accidental shootings: One in 2011 at an elementary school in Houston in which a student had a gun that went off, injuring three people; and another in Mississippi in 2021, when a first-grader shot a fellow student with a gun he had brought to school and was playing with. In the third case, which attracted national attention, a 6-year-old boy shot and killed a young girl as the teacher was lining up students in a hallway. According to Mr. Riedman’s research, there has been only one shooting at a school that involved someone under 6 years old: a kindergartner, aged 5, shot a gun in the cafeteria of his school in Memphis, Tenn., in 2013."

Four ultra-young school shooters in the past 50 years. Obviously it's hard to find the identities of the shooters, but there is enough information to make inferences. In the 2011 Houston case, it was a black named Wrolandrea Hensley who made the gun available to the 6-year-old. In the 2021 Mississippi case, the shooting occurred at a school that is currently 88% black. The third case mentioned was the killing of Kayla Renee Rolland (pic8.co). And the 2013 Memphis case happened at a school that is currently 90% black.

Another instance of they are just like us? Can a child be raised to be a functioning member of society after something like this? I suspect not...
