  1. Fake news! Who confronted the child and recovered the gun? There is so many things about this that they don't even address as far as the reality of a situation like this??

  2. Here in Australia Americans think its strange that we do a sort of a line dance to the song Nutbush sung by Tina Turner. We here in Australia think its strange that you send your children to school with a gun so I guess it all balances out, doesn't it?

  3. 6 years old wow hardly to believe it 😢

  4. Why did he feel the need to shoot his teacher this is so crazy and sad the parents do need to be held accountable u don’t leave your guns out so your kid can get them hello people common sense and someone taught that little boy how to shoot a gun or the parent didn’t put the safety on it

  5. I cannot believe that the mother claims 'the gun was secured' in a location that her 'child could not access the gun.' Really? Then explain how the kid had the loaded gun in the school. It is literally a crime to have a loaded gun accessible to a child. No, putting it in your bedroom dresser and telling your kid they cannot go in your bedroom is NOT having it secured.

  6. Ho Lord America is the most scary country to live. They showing as all about Hollywood move only good thing about them . What a shame

  7. Maybe it time to change gun laws

  8. No child should have access to any weapon. This was horrible. This was a child as any other kid. But he was identified as young man. And he has been looked at as a criminal. How do you know if he didn’t realize he had a real gun. Every time these stereotypes are presented in this manner this happens. He is 2 years older. Now let’s hear this same energy.

  9. Yet another fake hoax psyop! Masonic pig flanked by other masons standing in Masonic poses!

  10. What’s up with title? No sh!t he brought the gun to school and shot teacher that’s how it works lol

  11. Bruh and y'all telling me america is the greatest country?
    Oh hell nah.

  12. So how did this 6year old get a gun

  13. Eh I don’t blame the parents tbh unless they truly had something to do with it at 6 years old even I had the understanding a gun can hurt someone especially with video games and technology advanced as it is they should take the child to therapy

  14. I like how the media only covers gun violence but not other violence like stabbings. Just wanna take our guns away smh

  15. This is parent negligence and child abuse

  16. I’m a substitute teacher and I fear the worst when I see this stuff happen.😢

  17. All these news conferences are about emotion, heroes and fear. Why is NO ONE saying the truth, most six year olds can't tie their shoes, open a banana or write but they can shoot a gun. Well if you say so.

  18. Where and how did this 6 yr old child get the gun?

  19. Wonder how much time he spends online. Kids nowadays learn a lot from games and social media. Yes, even a 6 year old.

  20. The mayor and I? The head of the mafia and the thief that’s what you are!
    And that doesn’t have to do with the 6 yr old.

  21. How this crazy and stupid 6 yr old get hold of a gun?

  22. Feds are really stepping up their game with arming kids.

  23. This is just so sad sooo freaking sad yo 😭😭😭😭😭

  24. Bravo America ! This is called the best country of the world ?

  25. Ever since school opened up post pandemic, these incidences are going up.

  26. Even though the kid is only 6, he should be tried as an adult!

  27. This is crazy. 6 years old! I’m a 90’s baby and there’s just no way 6 yr old me could ever. Just wasn’t smart enough, too unaware and unexposed (like it should be). This kid literally schemed and executed everything except a getaway plan. Back then we was just worried bout playing outside and going to school for PE and recess. Geez man this world. It is sad. Can’t always blame the parents either cuz it just seems impossible to shield these kids from everything that’s been going on. Swear we never even had a drill for active shooter. Just fire and bad weather Fr fr. Kid is only 6! Kid ain’t even been in elementary school for more than 2 yrs. Kid prob can’t even remember living 3 yrs ago! Kid not even strong enough to actually fire a weapon properly. We ain’t even have shooting games as kids. Call of Duty, GTA, I swear allat wasn’t even created yet. We still had Nintendo64 and Sega genesis at 6. Graphics weren’t even clear enough for it to feel real. I feel for these parents gotta raise kids in this world and god bless the brave teachers that choose to go to work everyday knowing how dangerous the job can be. Glad teacher is stable. Will keep everyone in my prayers smh

  28. After all the school shootings all the innocent children that have been taken and still STILL THERE IS WAYS TO GET A GUN INTO OUR SCHOOLS WITH OUR CHILDREN WHEN WILL THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS LEARN TO TAKE STRONGER Measures to protect our kids what has to happen to place detectors security officers with handheld detectors this world has influence all over it he had to have seen or heard some sort of influence to make him think this is okay this world needs to change before something else traumatic t happens again this has frustrated me to my core that this is still a possibility in our schools with our precious babies inside.

  29. How did a six year old get ahold of a gun? Thank God for Abigail. More worried about her students then her safety

  30. This kid’s family life must be awful. I’m guessing anyway. Also, there’s something going on with this kid, he needs serious help.

  31. Gaming has made young minds numb 😢

  32. I hope the parents are held liable and face criminal charges. This is why you’re supposed to lock up your guns and keep the ammunition separate.

  33. My question is why would a 6 year old want to hurt the teacher, what took place in class before this happened to make a child be beyond angry and want to hurt someone like this. There is a lot more to the story I would like to know what the child has to say and what was going on in class that led the child to think this would somehow fix something.

  34. Having access to a gun is a common mental illness.

  35. Fuckers are getting younger and younger nowadays.
