Newport News: Condition of teacher shot by child improving
By Matt MurphyBBC News
The condition of a Virginia teacher left seriously injured when she was shot by a six-year-old pupil has shown signs of improvement, authorities say.
Abby Zwerner suffered life-threatening injuries after she was shot with a handgun at Richneck Elementary School in The City of Newport News on Friday.
Mayor Phillip Jones told The Bbc that Ms Zwerner's recovery was " trending in a positive direction".
But he added that she remained in a Critical Condition after The Incident .
Online, Social Media users wished Ms Zwerner - who is believed to be in her 30s - a speedy recovery.
Her Alma Mater , James Madison University in Virginia, offered " prayers and Best Wishes for Abby's health and recovery".
It is unclear how The Child - who remains in police Custody - obtained The Gun . Officials Said that while The School - which has around 550 students - had metal detection facilities, students were checked at random and not Every Child was inspected.
Police have declined to say what might have motivated The Incident , but Chief Steve Drew told reporters The Shooting had come after an " altercation" in a First Grade (ages six to seven) classroom and did not appear to be " accidental".
One parent, Steve Gonzalez, whose child was present in the classroom at The Time of The Shooting , told Fox News that Ms Zwerner had reacted selflessly after The Shooting .
He Said that after being struck by the bullet " she screamed at her kids to run away".
Mayor Jones - who took office just Five Days Ago - Said police were continuing to investigate the circumstances around The Shooting , but Said he thought the " word altercation was a valid one, And One that I would use".
" We don't have all the answers about how a six-year-old was able to handle a firearm or how a six-year-old was able to access a firearm, " He Said .
" This is a Dark Day in our history and I think this is a Red Flag for the country. "
Officers have also declined to discuss what contact they have had with The Student 's parents.
Virginia law prevents six-year-olds being tried as adults. And The Child would also be too young to be committed to the Custody of The Department of Juvenile Justice if found guilty.
But a judge could revoke the parents' Custody of The Boy and take him into the supervision of The State .
On Saturday, Chief Drew Said police had " been in contact with our commonwealth's attorney [local prosecutor] and some other entities to help us best get services to this young man".
School District Superintendent George Parker Said on Saturday that The Shooting showed " we need to educate Our Children and we need to keep them safe".
" We need the community's support, continued support, to make sure that guns are not available to youth and I'm sounding like a broken record today, because I continue to reiterate that: that we need to keep The Guns out of The Hands of our Young People , " he added.
Newport News is a city of around 180,000 people and sits about 70 miles (112km) to The South of The State capital Richmond .
