FOX 26 reporter Sherman Desselle has more information after closing arguments were made Friday afternoon before the jury began deliberations.

GALVESTON, Texas – Jury deliberations in the civil trial over the Santa Fe High School shooting will continue Monday morning.

Jurors will decide whether the confessed shooter's parents, Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos, are liable for the 2018 shooting that left 10 people dead and 13 others injured.

Lawyers for the survivors and the victims' families say Dimitrios Pagourtzis' parents ignored several warning signs before the shooting and gave him easy access to their weapons.

Lawyers for Pagourtzis' parents argue that blame for the shooting ultimately lies with the shooter, the company that sold him the ammunition and the failings of the school system.

The parents testified that they did not see any warning signs before the shooting and that the guns were locked.

Attorneys have asked the jury to award each victim $25 million.
