“There are concerns, of course,” she said. “We talked through it. His therapist gave me a thumbs-up and said he's good." There were two other shootings in Newport News schools in the 16 months before the Richland shooting. Two 17-year-old students were wounded when a 15-year-old boy fired shots in a crowded high school hallway. Two months later, an 18-year-old student fatally shot a 17-year-old in the parking lot of a different high school.
“There are teachers who are glad to kind of go back because they care about the kids, and there are teachers who cannot handle trauma and stress the way other teachers can," Graves said. “I want to make sure the teachers who cannot handle that stress because of what happened, that they are taken care of.”
