Metal detector to be installed at Virginia elementary where 6-year-old shot teacher
The elementary school in Newport News, Virginia, where a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher Friday will install a metal detector, the school board chair says.
When students return to the Virginia school where a 6-year-old shot a first-grade teacher, the campus will be outfitted with a metal detector.
The Newport News Public Schools district announced Thursday that a detector will be installed at Richneck Elementary School, where Abigail Zwerner was shot as she was teaching.
The school, which has been closed since the shooting Friday, will reopen with a metal detector, school board Chair Lisa R. Surles-Law said.
"Metal detectors are going to start at Richneck so we can get those students in the building," Surles-Law said.
