Newport News police say the shooting was "not accidental" and are trying to determine how the child accessed the weapon. The boy has been taken into custody as police continue to investigate. 

The shooting took place inside a first-grade classroom at the Richneck Elementary School but no students were hurt. 

The teacher, a woman in her 30s suffered life-threatening injuries, but had shown some improvement in the hospital, Police Chief Steve Drew told reporters.

 

''We did not have a situation where someone was going around the school shooting,'' Drew said, adding that "this was not an accidental shooting."

 

The boy was taken into custody by the police, however, no further information was provided about the shooting.

 

Police said the boy had a handgun inside the classroom and investigators are trying to establish how the boy managed to get hold of it.
