Overview
- An education administration expert testified Parker had four separate warnings and should have confiscated the backpack, secured the student, and contacted police.
- Staff witnesses said Parker was told the boy might have a gun as early as about 12:20 p.m., including accounts from a reading specialist, a counselor who sought permission to search, and another first-grade teacher.
- Jurors viewed body-camera video from the immediate aftermath, and doctors described life-threatening wounds, including a bullet that remains in Zwerner’s chest.
- Parker is the sole defendant after other parties were dismissed, and she faces a separate criminal trial next month on eight felony child neglect counts.
- Zwerner is expected to testify later in the proceeding, and the jury has not begun deliberations.
