But the administration could not be bothered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>At a meeting earlier this month, Newport News Public Schools Superintendent George Parker\u00a0told parents\u00a0that &#8220;at least one&#8221; school official knew of a potential gun on the school\u2019s campus prior to the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Zwerner informed an administrator at 11:15 AM the day before the shooting that the boy had threatened to beat another student. Toscano claims that no action was taken by the school official.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer alleged that one of Zwerner\u2019s colleagues told a school administrator around noon that she had looked through the boy\u2019s backpack and believed he put the gun in his pocket before recess. Toscano says that the administrator told Zwerner about Zwerner&#8217;s colleagues. &#8220;downplayed&#8221; the teacher\u2019s theory, and dismissed them by saying that the boy &#8220;has little pockets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A teacher later told the school administrator that the boy showed his classmate the gun at recess, and threatened to shoot him for telling anyone. His classmate called his teacher. &#8220;crying and fearful,&#8221; Toscano says that school officials have yet to respond to Toscano&#8217;s request.<\/p>\n<p>Another school employee had warned the administration about the possibility that the 6-year-old boy may have a gun. However, the administrator refused to search the boy when asked.<\/p>\n<p>A 6-year old student opened fire on his 25-year-old teacher, hitting her in the chest. Zwerner was taken to hospital for two more weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Toscano\u00a0said\u00a0during a press conference Wednesday, &#8220;Did administrators call the police? No. Did administrators lock down the school? No. Did administrators evacuate the building? No. Did they confront the student?
