Closing arguments in the civil case between a Virginia teacher<\/a>, who was shot by her 6-year-old student, and a school administrator concluded Wednesday, with a jury now set to deliberate the multimillion-dollar landmark case.<\/p>\n

Abigail Zwerner, a now-former teacher at Richneck Elementary School, filed a $40 million lawsuit<\/a> against ex-assistant principal Ebony Parker alleging Parker dismissed concerns regarding an elementary school student potentially bringing a gun to school.<\/p>\n

Zwerner\u2019s legal team alleges the dismissal resulted in their client being shot in the chest and hand on Jan. 6, 2023. The bullet narrowly missed Zwerner\u2019s heart, and remains lodged in her chest.<\/p>\n

In closing arguments on Wednesday, Zwerner\u2019s attorney, Kevin Biniazan, blasted Parker\u2019s alleged failure to respond to repeated reports that the child was in possession of a gun on school grounds.<\/p>\n

“A gun changes everything,” Biniazan said, according to<\/a> WAVY. “You stop and you investigate.”<\/p>\n

Zwerner\u2019s team reportedly added that Parker allegedly ignored multiple attempts by school faculty to warn her about the child\u2019s behavior leading up to the shooting.<\/p>\n

However, Parker\u2019s attorney, Sandra Douglas, argued that her client used “real-time judgement<\/a>, not hindsight judgements” in the moments leading up to the shooting, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

“Your job is to consider only what Dr. Parker knew at the time,” Douglas reportedly told the jury.<\/p>\n

Parker\u2019s attorney went on to question Zwerner\u2019s testimony in court, looking to poke holes in her claims of becoming a “recluse” after the shooting, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not minimizing what happened to Ms. Zwerner, I\u2019m not doing that,” Douglas said. “But when someone is asking for $40 million, it\u2019s my job to tell you, there is another side to that story.”<\/p>\n

However, Biniazan argued in his rebuttal that Zwerner\u2019s mental state<\/a> has been deeply impacted by the shooting, pointing to her life expectancy being reduced to just 53 years as a result.<\/p>\n

“When you’re deciding what’s fair and what’s fair, you’re not just deciding tomorrow and what might happen the next day,” Biniazan said, according to<\/a> WTKR. “We don’t get to come back here in five, ten, 15 years and bring you all together and ask Ms. Zwerner, \u2018How are you doing? Are you still waking up at nine? Do you still see that face?\u2019”<\/p>\n

Last week, Zwerner, who was 25 at the time of the shooting, weighed in on the events\u2019 impact on her emotional and psychological state while on the stand.<\/p>\n

“The last thing I remember at the school, I thought I was dying. I thought I had died. I thought I was either on my way to heaven or in heaven,” Zwerner told the court. “Then it all went black. So, then I thought I wasn\u2019t going there.”<\/p>\n

In addition to the landmark civil lawsuit, Parker is also facing a criminal trial on eight felony counts of child neglect \u2013 one charge for “each of the eight bullets that endangered students” in Zwerner\u2019s classroom, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The child\u2019s mother, Deja Taylor, is currently serving a two-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to child neglect and gun charges.<\/p>\n

The seven-person jury is set to resume deliberations on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Neither Zwerner\u2019s nor Parker\u2019s attorney immediately responded to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
