The 6-year-old boy who shot and wounded his teacher in Virginia this month had repeatedly threatened other students earlier that day but school administrators "paralyzed by apathy" refused to intervene, the teacher's lawyer said yesterday (Jan. 26.2023), according to the USA Today website.
The bullet remains lodged in teacher Abigail Zwerner's chest, her attorney said. and she faces a lifetime of physical and psychological recovery. Zwerner, 25, yesterday filed notice of intent to sue the Newport News School District for failing to respond to repeated threats reported on Jan. 6, according to her lawyer.
"Abby Zwerner was shot in front of those horrified kids and the school and community are living the nightmare, all because the school administration failed to act," attorney Diane Toscano said. "This should have never happened. It was preventable. And thank God Abby is alive."
