You're a peach. If the child had a history of violent behavior, and the school board never acted on any of it, and the student was allowed to continue attending class despite all the "fucked up shit" he did. Then the school board is absolutely liable.
It's a 6 year old. Even if a 6 year old is known for being violent or rough - do you expect there to be a firearm in their bag?
What circumstances does one expect a six year old to produce a firearm and shoot someone? As far as I can tell it has literally never happened before or since this single incident, period. Six year olds aren't really known to be the typical school shooter demographic, that's more of the angsty teen age.
I don't think it's reasonable for schools to conduct bag searches on kindergarteners or first graders. They shouldn't really expect to have metal detectors either.
If the US doesn't want to have metal detectors and bag searches.... then how about some gun regulations, to fix the actual problem? It's far too easy for Americans to get guns
