Police respond to a shooting that injured a teacher at Richneck Elementary (Billy Schuerman / The Virginian-Pilot/Tribune News Service via Getty Images file) Newport News police have previously said the gun was legally purchased, but were investigating whether it was properly secured as the child's family has claimed. She added that the key for the lock is kept under her bedroom mattress. 6, the morning of the shooting, Taylor believed the gun was in her purse with the trigger lock installed and left on top of her bedroom dresser, according to the statement. His mother, Deja Taylor, told Newport News police in an interview that she typically "stores her firearm in her purse with a trigger lock in place, or in a lock box," according to the probable cause statement. The documents shed light on how the boy likely obtained the weapon, a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, used in the shooting. The child made the statements to another teacher who had restrained him after he opened fire on his first-grade teacher, Abigail Zwerner, as she sat reading to her class at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, according to a probable cause statement and search warrant affidavit. The 6-year-old boy who seriously wounded his teacher at a Virginia elementary school in January said in the aftermath that "I did it" and "I got my mom's gun last night," according to newly unsealed court documents.
