Authorities have credited Abigail Zwerner, the teacher who was shot, with shepherding students to safety before seeking help for herself.
during a class earlier this month will make her first public remarks on the incident at a news conference scheduled for Wednesday morning, her law firm announced.Diane Toscano will give an update on the teacher, Abigail Zwerner, provide new information about the shooting and discuss the next steps for the educator, according to a press release.
The shooting has grabbed national attention, but Zwerner and her family have yet to comment on what happened. Toscano declined an interview Tuesday. Newport News police chief Steve Drew credited Zwerner, 25, with saving lives for shepherding her first-grade students to safety after a 6-year-old student pulled out a gun and shot her on Jan. 6 at Richneck Elementary School.Despite being shot through the hand and in the chest, Drew said at a news conference after the shooting that Zwerner was “the last person to leave class.
“I believe she did save lives, because I don’t know what else might have happened if those kids would have stayed in that room,” Drew said. Zwerner’s shooting has stirred outrage in Newport News. Parents and teachers have complained about how school administrators handled the shooting and safety issues more generally on the city’s campuses, where three shootings have occurred since late 2021. The school board was expected to vote Wednesday on whether to remove Superintendent George Parker III and hire an interim replacement, according to a copy of the meeting agenda.
