“We were doing math … an announcer came on she was like, ‘Lockdown, I repeat lockdown,’” fifth-grader Novah Jones, who was in another classroom,“I was scared … it was like my first lockdown and I didn’t know what to do, so I just hid under my desk like everybody was,” she said during an interview that included her mother, Kasheba Jones.The young student who shot Zwerner was taken into custody.“I couldn’t breathe I was in shock,” her mother, Kasheba told CNN.
“As a practical matter, it would be next to impossible to prosecute a 6-year-old, no matter how serious,” Block, the former director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, told the Washington Post.
