Virginia teacher shot by student plans to sue the school district

A Virginia superintendent is fired after a teacher was shot by a student. A spokesperson for the school district said they couldn't comment due to a pending investigation.
The 6-year-old boy who shot and wounded his teacher in Virginia this month had repeatedly threatened other students earlier that day but school administrators "paralyzed by apathy" refused to intervene, the teacher's lawyer said Wednesday.

The bullet remains lodged in teacher Abigail Zwerner's chest, her attorney said, and she faces a lifetime of physical and psychological recovery. Zwerner, 25, on Wednesday filed notice of intent to sue the Newport News School District for failing to respond to repeated threats reported on Jan. 6, according to her lawyer.
