@coastalcurr3nts: Newly unsealed body camera video shows the moments after a 6-year-old shot his first-grade teacher, Abby Zwerner, inside a Richneck Elementary School classroom in January 2023. Zwerner and her students fled the after she was shot. Zwerner then collapsed in the school office while the boy remained inside the classroom with reading specialist Amy Kovac, who was holding him when officers arrived. Kovac supplied testimony in both the civil and criminal trials that followed. A jury awarded Zwerner $10 million in her civil lawsuit against the Newport News School Division and former Assistant Principal Ebony Parker last November. The student's mother, Deja Taylor was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for felony child neglect and federal weapons charges. Parker faced an unprecedented criminal child neglect trial in the spring, in which all charges were dismissed.

But can we talk about the lady who is caring for that child she showed no kind of hate towards that child. She is truly is an amazing teacher or principal whatever she is!! They said this is minutes after. And look at the compassion she has there should be more people like her.

He talks like that because adults talk like that in front of him. He acts like that because adults act like that in front of him. That’s why it’s important to not curse or act crazy on front of kids. They are sponges their whole youth.

That teacher still saw his humanity and innocence as a child in this moment. What a beautiful soul. A different environment for this little boy and he’ll have a completely different future.

His home needs to be investigated. If he has siblings they all need to be removed from the home. That baby has been around things and seen things that he shouldn’t have.

Teachers have to deal with behaviors like this every day. Stop saying they are the problem. It starts in the home.

6 year olds don't know how to carry/conceal/operate/shoot a handgun without being shown or taught. Drag the adults at home to prison.

Reading specialist ran towards gun shot sounds, disarmed him and held him to the point he felt safe to communicate. She's a GD hero.
