Atlanta, GA, October 18, 2026 —

A 2-year-old child at a daycare in Richmond, Virginia, allegedly put a loaded gun belonging to a daycare administrator in their mouth, according to a state report.

The available account identifies the weapon as loaded and says it belonged to a daycare administrator. It does not say how the child came into contact with the gun or where it was kept before the incident.

The account does not provide the date of the incident, the name of the daycare or administrator, or further details about the state report. It also does not say whether the gun was fired, whether anyone was injured, or what actions followed.

No information was provided about whether authorities or daycare officials conducted an investigation, or whether the facility faced any regulatory action. The report’s findings and any response from the daycare or administrator were not included in the available account.

Those details remain unreported here; the information provided establishes only that a state report described the alleged incident involving the child and the administrator’s loaded gun at a Richmond daycare.
