Concerned staff warned administrators at a Virginia elementary school three times that a six-year-old boy had a gun and was threatening other students in the hours before he shot and wounded a teacher, the teacher's lawyer said.
Diane Toscano, an attorney for wounded teacher Abigail Zwerner, said the administration "was paralysed by apathy" and didn't call police, remove the boy from class or lock down the school,
Later in the day, the school board voted to fire school district superintendent George Parker III as part of a separation agreement that will pay him a little over $502,000 (€460,665) in severance - two years of his current base salary of $251,000 (€230,332).
