A former Virginia teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old student two years ago will receive $10 million in damages, a jury has ruled.

Abigail Zuerner was seriously injured and had to undergo several surgeries after the incident in January 2023.

A teacher was once shot by a student during class in Newport News, the bullet going through her arm and into her chest.

"The look on the student's face is the most vivid memory I have," Zuerner testified, according to the BBC.

She had filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school's former assistant principal, Ebony Parker , alleging she failed to act when warned that the student might have brought a gun to school that day. Parker had been warned about the gun 45 minutes earlier, the court heard.

The jury (three men and four women) agreed with the lawsuit that Parker's inaction amounted to gross negligence. The lawsuit describes an incident in which Zuerner allegedly told Parker that the child was in a "violent state" and had threatened another child. 

Parker's attorney, for his part, argued that she could not have known what would happen and that Zuerner exaggerated the extent of her injuries.

The civil trial will be followed by a criminal trial in which Parker faces eight counts of child neglect, which carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

The student's mother was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for child neglect and federal charges of illegal possession of a firearm. The student has not been charged. 

He is reportedly in the care of a relative and is enrolled in another school.
