Abigail Zwerner, who was seriously injured in incident with pupil in January, made remarks in first interview with NBC Today show

The Virginia school teacher who was shot in her classroom by a six-year-old student in January “can’t get out of bed” some days because her recovery has been so physically and mentally exhausting, she has said in her first interview since the attack.

“But … for going through what I’ve gone through, I try to stay positive,” 25-year-old Abigail Zwerner told NBC’s Today show in an interview aired on Tuesday. “You know, [I] try to have a positive outlook on what’s happened and where my future’s heading.”
