New video shows 6-year-old cursing at officers after shooting first grade teacher at Virginia school

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Chilling new police body camera video shows the moments after a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher at a Virginia elementary school in 2023.

The newly unsealed footage was captured just minutes after the student shot first grade Richneck Elementary School teacher Abby Zwerner in the hand and chest with a gun he said he stole from his mother.

In the video from a classroom in Newport News, the child, whose face is blurred, sat on another teacher's lap.

"Where is the weapon?" an officer said in the video.

"It's on the floor," a teacher responded.

The boy started swearing and threatening her and the police officers who.

"If you want a piece of me, come get it all, b***" the child said.

"The gun is there, he just admitted that he had a weapon," the teacher said.

"Ya'll want a f***ng piece of me b***?" the child said. "It's over there w****. F*** you, f*** you, f*** you."

"I mean, he does have the gun residue," the teacher said.

The boy explained where he got the gun and said he did not care if he went to jail.

"My mom had that, I stole that from my mom," he said. "I don't care if you call backup, I don't care about going to jail b***"

Zwerner survived the shooting and was awarded $10 million in a civil case after suing Assistant Principal Ebony Parker.

A jury found Parker grossly negligent for failing to act on warnings that the boy had a gun.

The boy's mother, Deja Taylor, spoke to ABC's Linsey Davis back in 2023.

"Do you all have any knowledge about the validity of accusations that he would run around and chase kids with a belt, or say curse words to the teachers? Any inappropriate touching with a girl who had fallen on a playground?" Davis asked.

"No. Now that, no," Taylor said. "He has ADHD. Some are able to have a very mild rate, but he's off the wall, doesn't sit still ever. He started medication and was meeting his goal academically."

Taylor served prison time for child neglect and gun charges. She was released in May.

The video of the aftermath of the shooting was under seal during the assistant principal's criminal trial, but the judge threw out that case.

Zwerner's attorneys say she still has a bullet fragment in her body and will be dealing with her injuries for life.
