Who Is Abby Zwerner?
A 6-year-old student shot and seriously hurt Abby Zwerner, a teacher at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia.
People were shocked by what happened, but Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew said the shooting was not an accident and occurred after a fight between the student and the teacher.
The teacher, who was not named at first, was taken right away to a nearby hospital. She was later named Abby Zwerner by local news outlets.
Stayed anonymous at first because her condition was “considered life-threatening.” Still, she was told that doctors were watching her and that “there was some improvement” in her state by late afternoon.
Later, Mayor Phillip Jones told the BBC that Zwerner’s health was “moving in a good direction.” He did say that she was still in “critical condition,” though.
Authorities didn’t say what kind of gun was used in the shooting, but they did say it was a handgun. Details about how the child got the weapon have not yet been made public.
Aside from teacher Abby Zwerner, no one else was hurt in the shooting. The students were reportedly moved from the campus to the school gym and deemed “safe” before reuniting with their parents.
