1. Could be charged?

There should be no question!

[Kablooie]

2. Why aren't they charged already?

Oh. Maybe they are MAGA so it takes years to decide to charge them.

3. NRA: "Don't ask so many questions if you know what's good for you."

"Also, buy more guns."

4. They had better be charged.

It also sounds as if the six-year old should not have even been in the classroom. I want to know more about the altercation. I understand the good intentions behind mainstreaming problem kids, but it shouldn't have fatal consequences and be disruptive for everyone else. I also understand privacy issues for minors and we may never know what happened, but I think it's helpful to know.

5. I also wonder if there is violence in the family

Is the child abused or is he witnessing abuse? Is he witnessing threats using a gun?

[Rhiannon12866]

7. He's only six. He has to have learned this somewhere.

10. Have you read something that suggests the kid had prior issues or had

behavioral or other mental disorder/developmental/other disturbance issues? I've seen nothing except the mention that the teacher had tried to confiscate the gun...?

[LisaM]

14. No, all I saw was that there was some altercation and then he shot her.

I did not read that she was trying to take the gun, so I assumed at that point it wasn't involved.

6. Ask Wayne LaPierre.

8. I've said this before

If children under 16 get a hold of the parents guns the parents need to be jailed. The conservatives should be behind this as it makes parents responsible.

[Duppers]

9. Indeed! 👍

[Casady1]

11. Where was the good six year old

with a gun who could have shot the perpetrator?

[Upthevibe]

12. Rhiannon12866...........

Without question, the parents MUST be charged.

13. Sue the Pants off the Parents.
