The 6-year-old boy who police say intentionally shot his first-grade teacher at a school in Virginia in January showed warning signs and violent behavior in the days before the shooting, an attorney for wounded teacher Abby Zwerner wrote in a recent notice of intent to sue.

In one instance, the boy choked a different teacher until she couldn’t breathe, attorney Diane Toscano wrote in a notice obtained by media outlets through an open records request.

According to the Daily Press, the alleged choking incident happened last year. The notice also alleges that two days before the shooting, the 6-year-old broke Zwerner’s cell phone and cursed at guidance counselors, resulting in a one-day suspension.

At the beginning of the school year, the boy constantly cursed at the staff and teachers, and once took off his belt on the playground and chased kids trying to whip them, the filing says.
