Experiencing the 2024 total solar eclipse in New Brunswick | SaltWire #solareclipse #eastcoast - A 6-year-old boy who shot and wounded his teacher last year in Virginia had a history of violent outbursts in school, including the choking of another teacher that led to his expulsion from kindergarten, according to an investigative report released on Wednesday.
An indictment returned by the grand jury charged Parker with eight counts of felony child neglect, one for every bullet contained in the handgun he brought to school from home in a backpack and used to shoot first-grade teacher Abigail Zwerner on Jan. 6, 2023. Many of the same allegations were leveled in a civil lawsuit brought against school administrators by Zwerner last April.
The boy was later expelled but allowed to return the following academic year at Richneck, where his pattern of disruptive and violent behavior continued, the report said. One parent testified her son had been choked twice by the same boy but was never told he had a history of similar aggression. According to the grand jury account, a reading specialist who ran into the class pulled the boy away from the weapon and restrained him until police arrived.
