Alarm in an elementary school in the US state of Virginia: According to the authorities, a student opened fire on his teacher.

NEWPORT NEWS/Virginia - A near-fatal altercation has erupted at an elementary school in the United States.

A 6-year-old student at Richneck Elementary School in the US state opened fire on his teacher after an argument Friday afternoon (January 6 local time).

The argument left the teacher with life-threatening injuries, according to local authorities.
