Abby Zwerner’s $40M Suit Tests School Liability

In emotional testimony, Hannah Zwerner said her twin, teacher Abby Zwerner, is no longer the same as a civil trial opened against former assistant principal Ebony Parker. Zwerner seeks $40 million, alleging Parker ignored repeated warnings that a 6-year-old had a gun before the 2023 classroom shooting. Surgeons described life-threatening injuries and permanent damage to Zwerner’s hand, while evidence included body-cam and scene photos. Parker faces eight felony child-neglect counts next month; a law professor says the rare case could set precedent for holding school officials accountable.
