A judge in Newport News, Virginia has ruled that a Teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student can proceed with her $40 million lawsuit against the school system. The judge disagreed with the school board's argument that the teacher was only eligible for workers compensation, stating that her injuries did not arise out of her employment. The teacher, Abby Zwerner, suffered serious injuries and alleges that administrators ignored warnings about the student's behavior and possession of a gun. The school board plans to appeal the decision. A trial date for the lawsuit is scheduled for January 2025.
