teacher who was shot and wounded by her six-year-old student said she has had four surgeries and is going through a challenging recovery.
“For going through what I've gone through, I try to stay positive. You know, try to have a positive outlook on what's happened and where my future's heading,” Zwerner said in a portion of the interview that was aired Monday.Zwerner was hospitalised for nearly two weeks after being shot in the chest and left hand as she taught her class at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia.
Zwerner’s attorney, Diane Toscano, told reporters in January that concerned staff at the school had warned administrators three times that the six-year-old had a gun and was threatening other students in the hours before Zwerner was shot. Toscano said the school administration “was paralysed by apathy” and didn’t call police, remove the boy from class or lock down the school.
The Newport News School board fired its superintendent in the wake of the shooting. Ebony Parker, an assistant principal who was a primary focus in Zwerner’s intent to sue notice, resigned.
