A six-year-old boy, who shot his teacher in the chest, threatened the policemen who came to the crime scene at Richneck Elementary School in Virginia and abused another teacher, a bodycam footage shows. No student was injured in the shooting, but the teacher Abby Zwerner suffered life-threatening injuries. The incident took place in January 2023, but the video has been released by the police now.
It shows the Class 1 student yelling “f*** you, b***h” at the teacher who was trying to restrain him.
School shootings plague the United States, with tragedies including the killing of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, by an 18-year-old gunman.
An officer is heard asking for “small handcuffs” for the shooter. The boy later told the police that he stole the gun from his mother, adding, “I don’t care if I go to jail.
The six-year-old was identified in court only as JT. In the video, a 9mm Taurus handgun is seen lying a few feet away from the boy. He shot Zwerner, believed to be in her 30s, in front of 16 students on January 6, 2023. Kovac is the one who called the emergency number 911 after hearing the gunshot, the outlet further says in the report.
“Both y’all want a f****** piece of me, b***h?!” the boy tells the officers, as per a New York Post report based on the bodycam footage from Officer Brian Torrez.
