'It was preventable, and thank god Abby is alive.'
A school sign wishing students a"Happy New Year" is seen outside Richneck Elementary School on Jan. 7, 2023, in Newport News, Virginia.
"On that day, over the course of a few hours, three different times, school administration was warned by concerned teachers and employees that the boy had a gun on him at the school and was threatening people," Toscano said."But the administration could not be bothered." "They didn't call security, they didn't remove the student from the classroom, and the school administration failed to act," Toscano said.
"The administrator downplayed the report from the teacher and the possibility of a gun saying, and I quote, 'Well, he has little pockets,'" she said, adding that school administrators did not call police over a report of a potentially armed student."This is outrageous. ... The school administrator failed to act and protect the school."
