School Fails to Act as Violent Pupil Attacks Teacher – Lawsuit Hits Hard
Shocking Negligence Alleged in Dangerous School Attack
A brutal lawsuit accuses school officials of gross negligence for ignoring clear warning signs and failing to protect staff. The child responsible had a notorious history of violence, yet no serious action was taken.
Violent Pup’s Disturbing Past Ignored
The unnamed child previously strangled his kindergarten teacher, chased students with a belt, cursed at staff, and smashed a teacher’s phone just two days before the horrific shooting of Ms Zwerner. His punishment? A mere one-day suspension.
Teacher Left with Life-Altering Injuries
Ms Zwerner sustained severe injuries that required four surgeries. She is now suing the school for massive compensatory damages, citing permanent bodily harm, physical and mental suffering, lost wages, and more.

- School board orders metal detectors installed at Richneck Elementary and every district school.
- Superintendent fired and assistant principal resigns amid fallout.
The case shines a harsh spotlight on school safety and accountability. Many demand urgent action before another tragedy strikes.
