Virginia Teacher Sues Former Assistant Principal Over Classroom Shooting

Abby Zwerner the first-grade teacher shot by a 6-year-old student at a Virginia elementary school, took the stand to testify Thursday in her civil trial against a former assistant principal, who is accused of ignoring multiple warnings that the boy may have brought a gun to school before the shooting. Parker’s lawsuit alleges negligence, asserting that the former assistant principal failed to act on reports of the student’s violent behavior and possession of a firearm. The trial, now in its third day, continues with Parker’s testimony.
