Abby Zwerner, the Virginia teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student, had emailed administrators about his behavior and said she felt uncomfortable with him returning to her classroom.
A teacher speaks to attendees during a vigil at the Newport News Public Schools Administration building on Jan. 9.“Mrs. Newton has been assumed to be one of those administrators; however, this is far from the truth,” she said. “The fact of the matter is those who were aware the student had a gun on the premises that day did not report it to Ms. Newton.”
Newton and Parker both resigned after it was revealed administrators had allegedly been warned three times that day about the boy being armed. Zwerner’s attorney Diane Toscano has said school staffers warned administrators the boy was armed but that nothing was done.Virginia boy who shot teacher Abigail Zwerner told another he wanted to set her on fire: reportDespite being struck in the chest and hand, the heroic teacher still managed to lead her students out of the classroom before being rushed to a hospital.
