From ABC News.

A school staffer recounted the moment she heard a gunshot fired in an elementary school during an ongoing civil trial in Virginia, nearly three years after a then-6-year-old student shot his first-grade teacher in a classroom.

The teacher, Abby Zwerner, is seeking $40 million over the January 2023 shooting at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, according to the civil complaint.
