The lawsuit focuses on former assistant principal Ebony Parker’s alleged negligence in failing to act on reports of a 6-year-old student possessing a gun, which resulted in the shooting of teacher Abby Zwerner. Zwerner’s attorneys argue Parker had a responsibility to investigate and ensure the safety of the students and staff. Parker’s defense maintains the incident was unforeseeable and that she did not have a legal duty to protect Zwerner. The jury is tasked with determining whether Parker’s actions constituted gross negligence and whether that negligence caused Zwerner’s injuries, potentially setting a precedent for assigning blame in school shooting incidents.
