"Judge Delays Ruling on Abby Zwerner's $40 Million Lawsuit for School Shooting Compensation"

A judge in Newport News, Virginia, needs more time to decide whether Abby Zwerner, a first-grade teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student, should be entitled to workplace compensation or her $40 million lawsuit against the school board. Zwerner's attorneys argued that her injury was not a workplace injury, while the school board claimed it was a hazard of her job. The judge will provide a written opinion in about a week.
