School staff turned over a handgun to responding officers.The incident follows January’s shooting of a first-grade teacher at an elementary school in Newport News. Police said a boy intentionally shot teacher Abby Zwerner on Jan. 6, which caused Ms. Zwerner to be hospitalized for weeks. She has since recovered.
