    Zwerner’s attorneys said Parker failed to act in the hours before the shooting after several school staff members told her that the student had a gun in his backpack.

    You have to be fucking kidding me. Several people knew there was a 6-yo wandering around with a gun and they felt they had to kick it up the chain to get a response?!

    Watch the video, scary shit. Poor woman laying there bleeding and trying to keep cool while paramedics work on her. What a fucked up thing for a kids teacher to deal with

    The really fucked up part is that a 6 year old shot his teacher and I never even fucking heard about it. School shootings have become so commonplace here that the only thing that made this “newsworthy” was the $10 million.

      It was a big deal when it happened. Much of my family works in public education so there was definitely a big conversation about the administration’s lack of action.

      The suit was against the assistant principal of the school. I doubt the assistant principal will be capable of paying $10m, so the teacher likely won’t see any of the money. Especially if the assistant principal ends up in prison after the criminal trial.
