NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — School division leaders said Thursday evening that “at least one administrator was notified of a possible weapon” on campus before a 6-year-old student shot his teacher last week at Richneck Elementary.
Superintendent George Parker announced some new details of the investigation during a virtual town hall Thursday evening with Richneck families.
“While our investigation continues, we know that the student did not arrive at the beginning of school, they arrived later in the day at approximately 11:30,” Parker said. “We also know that the book bag for the student was searched at that point, after it was reported that he potentially had a weapon.”
