Six year old who shot teacher in Newport News Virginia update:

[thucythucy]

15. Given what seems to be negligence on the part of the school system--

I'm referring to the warnings about the gun that were supposedly ignored--I'm wondering what else is happening here.

So many questions remain unanswered, or at least remain unavailable to the public, among them:

where did he learn this behavior?

where did he get the gun?

how long has all this been going on?

what treatment options have been offered to this child and his family?

Given the lack of information--and I understand that there are of course issues of confidentiality--I wonder about some form of brain disease or closed head injury that would bring on this sort of behavior. And if we're talking closed head injury--how did that happen, and is this child still at risk, and who else might be vulnerable?

This is such an extreme case one would hope every resource will be brought to bear on helping whoever needs to be helped.
