Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Former teacher Abigail Zwerner feared death and seeks $40 million from a Richneck Elementary School official in Newport News, Va., after being shot by a first-grader on Jan. 6, 2023.
Zwerner testified in the civil trial in the Newport News Circuit Court on Thursday and said she feared for her life.
"I thought I was dying. I thought I had died," Zwerner told jury members on Thursday, as reported by NBC News.
"I thought I was either on my way to heaven or in heaven," she added. "But then it all got black."
