Virginia teacher shot by 6-year-old student resigns/fired from school job.

Abigail Zwerner, the Virginia teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old student earlier this year, will not be returning to Richneck Elementary School when classes resume in the fall, according to a source close to the educator. Zwerner had filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school district, accusing them of ignoring a troubling pattern of violent behavior in the young student who shot her. The mother of the accused shooter pleaded guilty in federal court to using marijuana while possessing a firearm.
