Officials: 14-year-old gunman wounds 3 at S.C. elementary school
By CBS News/AP | Updated September 28, 2016, 9:44PM ET


TOWNVILLE, S.C. — A teacher and two young students were injured when a 14-year-old allegedly opened fire at a South Carolina elementary school Wednesday afternoon, reports CBS affiliate WSPA.

One of the victims has been identified as Jacob Hall, 6, according to WSPA. He is listed in critical condition at Greenville Memorial Hospital.

911 dispatchers received the initial call around 1:45 p.m. from a teacher who was in a classroom, reporting an armed male on the campus, officials said at a press conference Wednesday evening.

The shooting left a 6-year-old boy in critical condition and undergoing surgery, Scott Stoller, Anderson County’s director of emergency services, told the Anderson Independent Mail.

The other boy and a female teacher were in good condition, said Juana Slade, spokeswoman for AnMed Health Medical Center. Both boys were 6 years old, the Independent Mail reported.
[...]
Police are also investigating a homicide scene about two miles from Townville Elementary School, where a man was found dead from gunshot wounds at a home, according to Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore. The 47-year-old victim in that case is the father of the teen suspect in the elementary school shooting, Shore said. Officers found the man dead after receiving a 911 call from his family shortly after the shooting at the elementary school.

The incidents are believed to be connected, law enforcement said.

Prosecutor wants to try 14-year-old as adult in deadly S.C. school shooting
By CBS News/AP | October 6, 2016


TOWNVILLE, S.C. -- Prosecutors want to try a 14-year-old South Carolina boy as an adult on charges of killing his father and fatally shooting a first-grader at an elementary school.

Solicitor Chrissy Adams announced filing a petition Thursday to transfer the teen from family court, where he’s charged as a juvenile, to circuit court.

Her petition comes a day after the superhero-themed funeral of 6-year-old Jacob Hall, who was laid to rest as Batman. His family encouraged attendees to dress as the superheroes he loved, and so they did. His mother dressed as Robin.

“I don’t want suits and ties and all that,” Renae Hall, Jacob’s mother, previously told WHNS-TV. “There will be a lot of children there and I don’t want it to be scary for them.”

Speakers celebrated the boy who imagined himself roaming his small, rural town to save people as others slept.
[...]
Family court will set a hearing on Adams’ request after an evaluation. The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes.

Authorities say the teen fatally shot his father Sept. 28 before driving a truck to Townville Elementary School and crashing into the playground fence. Sheriff John Skipper has said the teen began shooting as he got out of the pickup.

A bullet struck Jacob in the main artery in his thigh. He died at a Greenville hospital Saturday.
