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.

School Admin discovers student has gun: “let’s plan a small group process meeting to determine what we might do about the 6yo boy with a gun in miss Z’s class”

The signs were there...someone in authority shouldn't taken heed and done something..it is the principal's..asst principals fault...his bag should've been checked...it's his parents fault, as well..everyone failed this child...he needed and needs extensive therapy and help.

Shame on the administration for not acting when they were presented with the knowledge of the gun. The parents and administrators are both at fault. The parents god not locking up the gun. The administration for acting like it was nothing! 🤦🏼‍♀️

The mother should be held accountable for this.

Young teacher pretty and so happy until...

Black student*

I hope she gets a good lawyer

Charge parent for leaving gun unsecured and administrators who failed to react promptly when finding out that child may have had a weapon!

Our schools are not safe at all. Everyone should be fired except this teacher

They did nothing to help this teacher.

carlquintanilla This is what DEMs and GOPs should be worried about, not their non-sense differences. Uncontrolled flow of content on social media together with glorification of “get rich or die trying”, “being the tough guy” are ruining next generations

This is kind of puzzling to me, was someone aware that there was a gun at the school or not?
