NEW: Virginia teacher shot by a 6-year-old files a $40 million lawsuit after she says the school ignored warnings from staff and students who believed the boy had a gun and posed an imminent threat.
Zwerner, 25, is seeking a jury trial, noting in her suit that she suffers from"physical pain and mental anguish."for still managing to escort her class of about 20 students to safety even after she was seriously wounded in the hand and her chest.
While in kindergarten at Richneck in the 2021-22 school year, the boy strangled and choked a teacher and was removed from the school, according to the complaint. He was placed on a modified schedule last fall after"chasing students around the playground with a belt in an effort to whip them with it, as well as cursing at staff and teachers," according to the complaint. At least one parent was also required to attend school with him daily"because of his violent tendencies."
Between 11:15 and 11:30 a.m., Zwerner went to assistant principal Parker and said the student appeared in a"violent mood" and had threatened to physically assault a classmate. According to the complaint, Parker"had no response," and another teacher observed that the administrator"essentially ignored Plaintiff's concerns."
