#NBCNews #Virginia #SchoolShooting

That's an obvious lawyer written statement for the mother to release.
How can you say "secured" if the child ended up with the weapon??
If the kid had brought the gun to school 3 times in the past why was he not expelled the first time around?
Lemme guess the parents say it was due to their child's fetal alcohol syndrome, they must have gotten the same lawyers Nicholas Cruz had
Why are they protecting the identity of the parents, thats a bunch of BS.
The parents went through primary school again as an adult but apparently didn’t learn the meaning of secure.
First public statement made by mother, through a lawyer, is garbage. Parents in NORTH AMERICA are legally responsible for their children up to the age 18. This child was a "challenged" kid and the parents apparently were much more "involved" than most any other child because of his condition. BUT, that being said, HOW could this "challenged" kid possibly get this "secured" gun …as the mother has stated". Is this mother also "challenged"??? A "secured" gun is exactly that …SECURED!!!
THERE IS NO OTHER COURSE TO TAKE …….THESE PARENTS MUST BE CHARGED!!!!
.
The teacher will be fine.
A week later and we still can’t get a straight answer on how the kid got the gun into the school. He got from home fine, but how did it get past bag check? Sounds fishy to me🤨
That’s not the parent’s words but their lawyers words
EVERY CENSORED WORD RECORDING
How strange, will not show the family…#blm. joke!
Great point!!! Color matters!
"We keep the guns out of reach of children"
Child: takes gun and shoots teacher
Why did he have access to weapons?
Why do You have weapons?
Parents take NO responsibility. Firearm secured? So that the dog can't get to it? If a 6 year old with a mental disability gained access to it and SHOT HIS TEACHER, THAT ISN'T SECURE, DUMBA$$!!! I hate stupid people…..
The gun was secure but the key was left laying around.
They should have never gave him the key to their gun safe. 😳
So sad, …JUST reported in Indiana, THAT a 4 year old toddler was caught on video waving around a hand gun!……..FATHER was ARRESTED!
What is going to be done to the boy that shot his teacher??? He's way too young for prison, I'm grateful there are people in this world that can make these important decisions. 🙏
Tragedy???
As a Republican and proud NRA member, I think that they should be PROUD! They are raising a future HERO of Our Blessed Second Amendment.
They just charged an Indiana father because his kid was waving a gun around in an apartment complex. Yet you aren’t arresting the parents of a 6 year old who shot his teacher? Wtf is wrong with society?
Parents must have told the kid where the gun was. How would the kid is aware of the gun or using it.
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.
Mandatory gun safes needed! Those with kids under 18 should register their guns
Show me their faces
The Parents should be Charged and Jailed for this Assault.. If they were responsible the Child should have never have had access to a Loaded Fire arm, much less being able to walk out of the house and take it to School… I don't Expect Gun Reform.. Today's Society has 21 states that allows people without gun permits to carry Fire arms. This is not an issue of the 2nd Amendment or the Right to Bear Arms.. The teacher was not Political but was an Example to help children learn about life and grow up with some degree of Dignity… Jail the Sleezy Parents and place the child in a foster home. They do not deserve to raise this child.
What royal BS. If the gun was truly secured, a 5yr old couldn't have gotten it uess u told him how. Whether ur with him on campus or not is entirely irrelevant. he would've had to have been taught how to unlock the trigger as well as a presumed safe it was in, had it truly be 'secured'.. going by ur words, that means u taught him how to unlock a safe and a trigger on a weapon
The owner(s) of this gun should face 25-to-life behind bars.
Is she a blue hair?
Imagine if I did it. I’m dark
No words from the parents will matter. Make them pay for their negligence and the child needs to be put in a secure environment.
If a 6 year old gained access to the gun …it wasn't secure. Plain and simple. These parents are as dumb as their kid and its no wonder how this happened. They need to be charged for negligence.
