 A Newport News judge has ruled the $40 million lawsuit by Abby Zwirner, the former first grade Richneck elementary teacher, who was shot by her student back in January 2023, will go on as scheduled in January 2025. Sandra Douglas, an attorney for Ebony Parker, the former assistant principal at Richneck, were arguing to delay the case until Parker's criminal case was over. That was rejected by the judge.
