“(AP) — The 6-year-old Virginia student who shot and wounded his teacher pulled the handgun from a backpack and shot her while she was teaching his first-grade class, a police chief said.

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew on Monday offered the first description of how the shooting happened. He had previously said that the shooting was not accidental and declined to elaborate.

He said the student pulled the gun out, pointed at the teacher and fired at her. He said there was no physical struggle over the gun preceding the gunshot. No students were injured.

Drew said that the gun had been legally purchased by the child’s mother in York County. It was in the child’s residence, he put it in his back pack and brought it to school, the chief said.

The teacher who was wounded Friday in the shooting, Abby Zwerner, was in stable condition Monday at an area hospital. Describing her as a hero, Drew said he had spoken to her and one of her biggest concerns was for her students.

Drew said after the shooting, the boy was physically restrained by a school employee and that he struck the employee. The boy was taken away in a police car.

A candlelight vigil in honor of Zwerner was planned for Monday at 6:30 p.m.

Principal Briana Foster Newton said in an update on the school’s website that the school will be closed for the week.

Police have declined to describe what led to the altercation or any other details about what happened in the classroom, citing the ongoing investigation. They have also declined to say how the boy got access to the gun or who owns the weapon.

Virginia law does not allow 6-year-olds to be tried as adults. In addition, a 6-year-old is too young to be committed to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice if found guilty. Authorities have not specified where the boy was being held.

On Monday morning, several parents, grandparents and community members gathered with a local pastor in an open patch of grass outside the school.

Among them was parent Eric Billet, who said each of his three children in the Newport News school system, two of whom go to Richneck, has reacted differently to the shooting.

Billet’s son who is in middle school has raised concerns about school security, telling his dad that he felt safer at theme parks, which the boy argued had better security than his school. His second-grade son is doing better, Billet said, fist-bumping a police officer on his way out of school Friday.

His daughter, a fourth-grader, has had nightmares every night, Billet said.

But at the same time, he said, “she was also disappointed she couldn’t go to school this week.”

“Let’s talk about Steven Anderson, leader of the NIFB, aka the New Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church. He’s the pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church, and some of his ideas get deeply disturbing. Interestingly enough, his ideas converge pretty well with kanye west’s ideas, as well as alex jones.”

This is the guy who got into hot water, for his “punch your gay kid” sermon.

Limited Run Games DESTROYED by BronyCon Founder?! LRG FIRED an Employee Over a 2016 Tweet!…

“Limited Run Games has effectively destroyed its credibility with gamers by publicly firing their female community manager over following the “wrong” accounts on Twitter, including Gina Carano and Libs of TikTok. And the WORST crime? Publicly saying she was looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy. Who got her cancelled? None other than Purple Tinker, the controversial founder of BronyCon who has a lengthy history of rage and harassment, and admits to being “a bully.” Was it worth it, LRG?”

Wait a minute…

…This [a game developer killing himself, while a publisher continues on to publish his game] makes the third, entirely unique claim over “what started gamergate”.

I thought gamergate was about dishonest and biased game reporters and critics…and it got initially exposed, when a game developer had sex with a game reporter…while said reporter was reporting on their new game.

A second claim emerged after that, that gamergate was all about misogyny, and abusive gamers [especially in MMO and multiplayer games].

All of these may be fair criticisms and real problems…but I got introduced to gamergate via the “sex scandal” one…

To be entirely honest…I ended up with a gut sense, that there may have been a bit of “tit for tat” going on…and abusive gamers may have just been a convenient issue, to throw back into the faces of people complaining about corrupt game reporters…It is of note, the abusive gamers angle was being pushed hard by game reporters.

But the two claims on “what gamergate is”, were very different…And here we have another one.

“Limited Run Games allegedly fired their community manager for publicly expressing excitement for Hogwarts Legacy, as well as following and liking the “wrong” accounts on Twitter. Then we talk about how Kotaku literally defamed former Hogwarts Legacy lead developer Troy Leavitt in a recent article, yet you’re not allowed to question their “journalistic integrity.”

Hogwarts Legacy Pre-Orders SKYROCKET and Twitter is FURIOUS!…

“Hogwarts Legacy pre-sales are VERY good, despite the attempt to ‘cancel’ the highly-anticipated Harry Potter video game. In fact, the game is the highest selling PS5 title of the year, according to Amazon. Meanwhile, the salt is flowing on Twitter, with one Twitch streamer gaining traction for telling people to “f off” if they support the game.”

I may wait for a sale…but I do intend on buying this game.

This has nothing to do with the tired, ongoing fight…but I don’t mind it, if the authoritarian a-holes know about it.

So…they finally let yet another piece of shit become speaker of the house?…

Yeah…business as usual.

Also…Small Dopey Motley is a disgusting excuse for a human being, who does not deserve reverence or kudos.

Even a blind chicken eventually finds a piece of corn…So, yeah…the guy keeps endlessly shooting off his mouth, he will eventually say something even I generally agree with…

…But he does not deserve being promoted…

The guy is psychological and ethical rot, in practice.

He spent most of his “career” in bed with Alex Jones.
