Virginia 1st-grade teacher shot by student resigns from school district.

Abigail Zwerner, the Virginia first-grade teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old student in January, is no longer working for the school district. Zwerner's attorney accused the Newport News School District of firing her, but the district spokeswoman said Zwerner had resigned via email in March. Zwerner has filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school board, its former superintendent, and Richneck administrators at the time of the shooting. The news comes after the boy's mother pleaded guilty to federal firearms violations in Newport News as part of a deal with prosecutors.
