Bizarre, totally whacky, and entirely predictable. Not much else to say, except I hope the teacher recovers and the child too. Who the hell let a gun get into his hands and how the hell did he get into the classroom with it undetected? Never mind even. Who the hell is careless enough to leave a gun where a 6 year old can take it? Oh wait, roughly 1/3 of the country.

If only the 'good guy' kids in the class were armed. Perhaps we could have a gun prefect whose job is gunning down any ' bad guy' kids, they could receive training in target identification and neutralization.

BBC wrote:While gun violence plays out at American schools multiple times each year, the shooters are almost never this young. Since 1970, 18 school shootings were perpetrated by children under 9, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database. Those cases represent a sliver of the more than 2,200 school shootings in the database.
