Abigail was providing classroom instruction, and the 6-year-old allegedly fired 1 round: with no altercation.
She was shot through the hand due to her raising it in self-defense. It exited her hand and entered into her chest. As she was wounded, she still managed to evacuate all of her students into other classrooms, according to surveillance footage. [END π§΅]
The 6-year-old child was being physically combative upon arrival; being restrained by school employee. PD witnessed the boy striking the employee. They then detained him. Within 9 minutes, they made contact with Abigail and within 11, she was transported to hospital.
[9mm handgun], a backpack, a cellphone and one spent bullet casing were recovered close to the student's desk where the shooting occurred.

"The House of Representatives on Monday passed a new set of rules to govern the chamber that will severely weaken the ability of the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) to investigate members of Congress for potential wrongdoing." -Business Insider
Itβs not hard for me to believe Harry. I remember how the media freaking hunted that woman and I remember how I felt when she was killed. Harry is a spare, why are Brits so horrified? Tough shit. He is saying his piece. William can say his too. One was raised to be king, the other was not. Get over yourselves.
This legislation is designed to insulate the ex-president along with various MAGA republicans who are still serving here in the House who are under investigation themselves. This is a dangerous extreme committee that is put in the hands of a group people who defied Congressional subpoenas and refused to testify before the Jan 6 Committee."
House Rep. Hank Johnson
She went in!!! Talked about the few documents found in POTUS think tank. She went on to say how the laws of the land were followed in this case and how the matter is being investigated. She started to go on about what happened in the other case and how the cases were different and her time was up.

"Here's the deal. There are six on the other side of the aisle who asked for a pardon from President Trump. They did his dirty work but Trump left them hanging, he did not give them a pardon. So now they are essentially trying to pardon themselves with the creation of this committee."
Rep. Jim McGovern
@nursefrombirth concise and to the point and no need to read her actual words! π
"This committee will do deep damage to our national security and only breed distrust with our national security professionals who will be reluctant to share with Congress the information policy makers need to protect our country. The Committee will also seek to discredit law enforcement, like the FBI, who are so important against the fight against domestic violence extremism."
