Newport News superintendent George Parker urges gun control after attack that left school teacher with life-threatening injuries
Parker on Saturday said the shooting showed how “we need to educate our children and we need to keep them safe”.
“I cannot control access to weapons. My teachers cannot control access to weapons … Our students got a lesson in gun violence and what guns can do to disrupt not only an educational environment, but also a family, a community.” No one else was hurt in the shooting, and students were returned to their parents once the campus was deemed to be safe again.
