Virginia Teacher Shot by 6-Year-Old Student Sues School Officials for $40 Million
The Virginia teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student earlier this year filed a $40 million lawsuit against school district officials on Monday, saying administrators failed to take action despite repeated warnings that the boy had a gun. The lawsuit, filed in Newport News Circuit Court, said the school’s former assistant principal and other administrators ignored pleas from staff members to search the boy for a gun. The boy, whom officials haven’t named, fired one shot at Abigail Zwerner on Jan. 6, officials said.
