The family of a six-year-old boy who shot and wounded his teacher in Virginia said that the gun he used had been "secured."
The family's statement was released by an attorney and did not elaborate further on where the 9mm handgun was kept. The family also was not identified.
"Our family has always been committed to responsible gun ownership and keeping firearms out of the reach of children," the statement said. "The firearm our son accessed was secured."
