Unveiling the Shocking Truth: 6-Year-Old Shoots Teacher with Mother's Gun

New details have emerged regarding how a 6-year-old boy in Virginia accessed his mother's gun and shot his teacher. The child's family claims the gun was placed on a high closet shelf with a trigger lock, but questions remain about how he accessed it. The mother, who pleaded guilty to using marijuana while possessing a firearm, could face 18 to 24 months in prison. The investigation revealed that no lockbox or trigger lock was found in the residences. The child, who suffers from an "acute disability," had received treatment at a medical facility. The teacher has filed a $40 million lawsuit alleging negligence by school administrators. The case is ongoing.
