It’s been nearly three years since all eyes turned to Newport News after a 6-year-old shot his first-grade teacher, Abby Zwerner, at Richneck Elementary.
Earlier this month, a jury found Ebony Parker, the school’s former assistant principal, grossly negligent in preventing the shooting. Jurors assessed Zwerner’s damages at $10 million — less than the $40 million she was seeking when she filed the lawsuit.
