"Abby Zwerner Reflects on Trauma and Recovery One Year After Richneck School Shooting"
Abby Zwerner, a Virginia teacher shot by a six-year-old student, suffers from PTSD and still has bullet fragments in her chest. The child used his mother's gun, leading to her conviction for felony child neglect. Zwerner is suing Newport News Public Schools for $40 million, alleging negligence after administrators ignored warnings about the boy's gun and behavior. The boy had a history of violence, including choking another teacher and inappropriate behavior towards a classmate.
