Ebony Parker, the former assistant principal of Richneck Elementary School where a six-year-old boy shot his teacher, has been charged with felony child neglect. On Jan. 6, 2023, Abby Zwerner was shot by her student in her hand and chest.
A special grand jury found that Parker neglected the lives of the elementary school students. She faces eight felony counts. In April 2023, Zwerner filed a lawsuit seeking $40 million in damages from school officials. In the lawsuit, Zwerner alleges that Parker ignored multiple warnings about the student before she was shot.
