    Obviously the only thing that could’ve saved this situation from happening was a good guy6 year old kid with a gun. It’s all about getting a good balance.

    The really fucked up part is that a 6 year old shot his teacher and I never even fucking heard about it. School shootings have become so commonplace here that the only thing that made this “newsworthy” was the $10 million.

      It was a big deal when it happened. Much of my family works in public education so there was definitely a big conversation about the administration’s lack of action.

        The problem should be “how a kid got a gun and then decided to use it on a person?”

    Watch the video, scary shit. Poor woman laying there bleeding and trying to keep cool while paramedics work on her. What a fucked up thing for a kids teacher to deal with

      The suit was against the assistant principal of the school. I doubt the assistant principal will be capable of paying $10m, so the teacher likely won’t see any of the money. Especially if the assistant principal ends up in prison after the criminal trial.

    Zwerner’s attorneys said Parker failed to act in the hours before the shooting after several school staff members told her that the student had a gun in his backpack.

    You have to be fucking kidding me. Several people knew there was a 6-yo wandering around with a gun and they felt they had to kick it up the chain to get a response?!
