After increased security and a change to school administration, children at the Virginia elementary school where a first grader shot his teacher earlier this month returned to school Monday.

Richneck Elementary School in Newport News was closed for more than three weeks after a 6-year-old brought a handgun to school and allegedly shot teacher Abby Zwerner during class on Jan. 6. The 25-year-old teacher suffered gunshot wounds to her hand and chest.
