We Follow Through: $40M suit over fmr. teacher's shooting moves forward

  • $40M suit over former elementary teacher's shooting in Virginia moves forward. A six-year-old student shot Abby Zwernerin her classroom last year.

    Now, in a $40M million lawsuit, Zwerner said Richneck's former assistant principal, Dr. Ebony Parker, ignored warnings that the six-year-old student had a gun on January 6, 2023.

    Zwerner's legal team wants to ask Parker questions about her actions that day as they prepare to go to trial with their lawsuit. Parker has pleaded the fifth, refusing to answer questions in light of a separate criminal case against her for the same shooting.

    This week in court, a judge ruled Parker must answer more questions about her actions on the day of the shooting as part of Zwerner's lawsuit against her and the Newport News school division.

    The judge said Parker doesn't have to answer every question. While she can avoid certain questions now, she could be asked those questions once her criminal trial is over.

    The lawsuit will go to trial in October 2025. Parker's criminal case is set for February 2025.
