A six-year-old boy who shot his teacher allegedly told her colleague "he wanted to set her on fire and watch her die", it is claimed.
The child, who attends Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, US, used a 9mm Taurus handgun to shoot 25-year-old teacher Abby Zwerner on January 6.
Ms Zwerner and other Richneck teachers voiced their concerns over the child's behaviour with senior staff but were ignored or had their concerns downplayed, according to the Washington Post.
