Washington D.C.: A six-year-old boy shot at a teacher at a school in Virginia, USA. The incident took place on Friday at Richneck Elementary School. The teacher was seriously injured.
The police informed that it was not an accidental shooting and the child is being interrogated in custody. Details are being sought.
The school superintendent responded that the incident shocked him. He said social support is needed to ensure guns are out of reach of children.
School shootings have happened many times before. On May 19, 19 children and two students were killed in a shooting by an 18-year-old man at a school in Texas.
44,000 people were killed by gunfire in the US last year. About half of these are murders, accidental shootings, and self-defense, and half are suicides.
