So the teacher who was shot by a 6yr old in Virginia is suing the school. The school's lawyers have used this defense:
The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.

I was very concerned that I might know the faculty victim in this case. Since it happened in the chemistry building, I doubt it.
This does make me wonder just how provincial someone would have to be, to never see a story like this where they have to wonder. Or is it because they just don't care? I don't get it.
Alexa, what's the most American thing that's ever happened?
