NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.
The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.
Were they at work when the injury occurred? Check Were there safeguards that the workplace could have done to prevent the injury? Check.
“Safeguards” lol. In America, gun safety lock is safeguard enough.
They actually searched the kid for a gun and didn’t find it because it was hidden in his pants.
