Friday has been identified as Abigail Zwerner, according to a posting on the website of her Newport News school.Zwerner, who teaches first grade, was shot by the student in a classroom around 2 p.m. Friday at Richneck Elementary School, Newport News police said. The shooting was not accidental, authorities said.
Richneck Elementary School Principal Briana Foster Newton announced Monday the school will be closed for the week, longer than the previously announced two-day closure. Counseling will be available for students, authorities said.The Newport News mayor, police and prosecutors did not immediately respond to requests for updates on the case, and it remains unclear how the boy got the gun used in the shooting or how the legal system might handle his case, which is challenging given his age.
Brittaney Gregory, whose son was in the class, told The Washington Post Sunday that Zwerner’s first-grade class was in a small reading group and about to switch to art when the 6-year-old pulled the gun from a backpack and pointed it at Zwerner.According to police radio traffic archived by the website Broadcastify, emergency responders said a woman at the school had been shot in the abdomen and through the hand.
