Why Foul-Mouthed Boy, 6, Who Shot Va. Teacher and Yelled ‘F–k You Bitch,’ Didn’t Face Charges
The 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot his teacher in the chest before launching into a vicious, caught-on-camera tirade against another educator – yelling “f–k you, bitch” — did not face any criminal charges related to the twisted attack.
Instead, the boy — only identified by officials as J.T. — was ordered to spend 227 days undergoing inpatient psychiatric confinement for shooting his teacher, Abby Zwerner, in front of 16 students in their first grade class on Jan. 6, 2023, according to court records.
Harrowing police bodycam footage released this week shows the baby-faced gunman swearing a blue streak and threatening cops just moments after he opened fire inside the classroom in Newport News, a small city about 70 miles southwest of Richmond.
“Both y’all want a f–king piece of me, bitch?!” J.T. yells at officers, while a Richneck Elementary School reading specialist, Amy Kovac, is seen restraining him in a bear hug and repeatedly pleading with him to “stop.”
“F–k you, bitch,” the tiny perp responds, according to the video, which also shows cops discovering a 9 mm Taurus handgun nearby on the ground.
“I stole that from my mom,” J.T. says, gesturing to the firearm, which he admittedly stole from his mother’s purse earlier that morning. (Read more from “Why Foul-Mouthed Boy, 6, Who Shot Va. Teacher and Yelled ‘F–k You Bitch,’ Didn’t Face Charges” HERE)
