The six-year-old student who shot his teacher in the US earlier this year, boasted about the incident saying “I shot [her] dead”, unsealed court documents show.

While being restrained after the shooting at a Virginia school, the boy is said to have admitted “I did it”, adding “I got my mom’s gun last night”.

His teacher, Abigail “Abby” Zwerner - who survived - filed a $40m (£31.4m) lawsuit earlier this year.

The boy has not been charged.

The boy’s mother, however, Deja Taylor, has been charged with felony child neglect and misdemeanour recklessly leaving a loaded firearm as to endanger a child.

In Ms Zwerner’s lawsuit, filed in April, she accuses school officials of gross negligence for ignoring warning signs and argues the defendants knew the child "had a history of random violence

The documents also mention another incident with the same student while he was in kindergarten. A retired teacher told police he started “choking her to the point she could not breathe”.

      I think you woefully underestimate how much it’s drilled into teachers’ heads not to use any sort of physical force at all

      Very, very high chance she loses her job and is potentially charged with assault of she had

        Loses her job and also can’t get a job anywhere else. It’d essentially be the end of her career

        Idgaf. If a five year old is choking me till the point I can’t breath there will be (appropriate) consequences. He spends 8 hours a day at that school you bet your ass he will behave in my class.

          You can just say you have absolutely zero experience in the classroom, it’s OK.

            When I was in classroom nobody was ever choking the teacher and if they tried, they would get dropped kicked like a soccer ball.

                Sounds like a shiti employer, really. Either get a new one or switch career. At this point I don’t get why one would want to be a teacher in the US. Bad pay, zero respect from parents or admins, plus homework as an adult

                Jfc, these people need to be on anti work and work reform to start regaining dignity.

                If society cannot respect the teacher, fuck such shiti society IMHO.

              Dropkick that little motherfucker. Ciaooo see you again with your parents after school and if your kid doesn’t behave next time he needs to find another school.

          We know ydgaf, that’s why you keep leaving these braindead comments. The world in your head has little correlation with the one we find ourselves living in.
