Elementary school to remain closed through Friday to give students ‘time to heal’ after 6-year-old allegedly shot teacher
So the New Year is off to a rough start when it comes to these shootings.
And it is very alarming but when you hear that a 6 year old kid is in custody for shooting someone, you can’t help but to think things are getting worse.
But that is what happened at an Elementary school in Virginia. A 6 year old kid brought a gun to school and shot a teacher in a classroom.
The Police chief said that this wast “not an accidental shooting,”
In spite of an altercation between the boy and the teacher right before a single round was fired. He added that no students were involved.
According to the Newport News Police Department, the teacher whose injuries were initially described as life threatening is now in stable condition.
The mayor of Newport said There’s a lot of questions that we have to answer as a community. Like how a 6-year-old was able to have a gun, know how to use it in such a deliberate manner . And he added that the individuals responsible will be held accountable. I can promise that.
The school announced it will remain closed for the week to allow students time to heal.

411 is going out of service for millions of Americans
Here’s another question for you.
When was the last time you called 411?
And that is why 411 is going away for millions of people in the U.S.
Starting in January, AT&T customers with digital landlines won’t be able to dial 411 or 0 to reach an operator or get directory assistance.
At&T have even notified customers on their websites with instructions to find addresses and phone numbers on Google or online directories.
an AT&T spokesperson said, “Nearly all of these customers have internet access to look up this information,”
But a century ago, the operator functioned as Google. Everyone knew it as “Information.”
And growing up it was used a lot.
But believe it or not. It is still being used by a good amount of people. How about 71 million people annually according to to the FCC.
And here is some phone history for you. The first telephone exchange took place in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1878 two years after the phone was invented.
Well that is the 411 on 411.
