I don't normally get involved in politics, but I thought I'd put in my two cents on a recent tragedy: the shooting of a teacher by her 6-year-old student at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia.

I'm increasingly worried about where the conversation around this topic is going. There have only been three other recorded incidents over the past twenty years where a 6-year-old has fired a gun in school. And, as far as we know, this is the only time a 6-year-old has fired a gun "intentionally," according to the chief of police. In all likelihood, there is a one-in-a-million chance that something like this will ever happen again.

While I understand the desire to want to "do something" after a tragedy such as this occurs, in this case, I don't think we really need to "do" much of anything. There is a marked difference between reaction and overreaction, and I believe the conversation surrounding this subject is the latter. I'm worried that the people of Newport News and perhaps elsewhere might end up going too far in their zeal for justice. We have to remember that, while the boy did shoot his teacher, he's still only 6 years old. He's as much a victim as she is. This is why we need better gun control, but putting metal detectors in schools--or whatever else they might do after this--is not the answer.

A grand jury in Newport News, Virginia, on Monday indicted the mother of a 6-year-old who shot his first-grade teacher in January, the city prosecutor announced.

Deja Taylor was charged with felony child neglect and a misdemeanor count of recklessly leaving a firearm that endangers a child after her son shot Abigail Zwerner, 25, a first-grade teacher at Richneck Elementary School.

No charges are expected to be brought against the 6-year-old; however, Zwerner filed a $40 million lawsuit against administrators of the elementary school, accusing them of negligence.

"The battlecruiser CONSTELLATION (CC-2) being broken up on the ways at Newport News Shipbuilding in 1924. CONSTELLATION was 22.7% complete when work was stopped due to the the Washington Naval Treaty. Newport News was awarded contracts for two ships out of the class of six - the other, on the neighboring builder's slip, was RANGER (CC-4) which was cancelled at just 4% complete. Philadelphia Naval Shipyard was awarded CONSTITUTION (CC-5), cancelled at 13.4% completion, and UNITED STATES (CC-6), which reached 12.1%. The other two ships of the class, LEXINGTON (CC-1) and SARATOGA (CC-3), were ordered from Fore River Shipyard and New York Shipbuilding, respectively. Those latter two were chosen for conversion to carriers because of their completion degree, which exceeded 33% in both cases."

Date: 1924
