(CNN) — Final arguments will be made on Wednesday in the $40 million lawsuit filed by a former Virginia teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student in a case that could set a dramatic precedent for who to blame when school shootings occur.
Abby Zwerner is suing Ebony Parker , the former assistant principal at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, who is accused of neglecting to act when multiple people raised concerns about the student having a gun on campus.
Parker’s attorneys have argued that no one could fathom that a child so young would bring a gun to school and carry out a shooting.
“You will be able to judge for yourself whether or not this was foreseeable. That’s the heart of this case,” attorney Daniel Hogan, said, the Associated Press reported .
