The mother of the 6-year-old Richneck Elementary student who shot his teacher, Abigail Zwerner, is being charged with one felony and one misdemeanor offense.
Abigail Zwerner, who was shot by one of her 6-year-old students, has begun the process of suing the Newport News School Board and several of its administrators.
Abigail Zwerner recently sat down with Savannah Guthrie of the ‘TODAY’ show to talk about the moment one of her student’s shot her in the hand and chest.
In an update from the lawyer obtained by Abigail Zwerner, the teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student inside her classroom, Zwerner and other teachers reportedly warned the school that the boy had a gun, but they did nothing.
In a statement provided by the family’s attorney, James Ellenson, the child’s parents are speaking out for the first time since the 6-year-old shot his teacher.
Metal detectors are not only being installed at Richneck Elementary School, but all other schools in the district, according to Newport News School Board Chair.
New information is coming to light after reports revealed a 6-year-old student from Virginia brought a gun to class. Reports have revealed that the child removed the gun from his backpack, pointed it at his teacher, and fired one run at her.
