No. I don't have a link yet. It's near Clemson and the news has been passed from a friend.

The bullet hit his femoral artery and he coded twice on the LifeFlight. There was too much blood loss and he was on life support.
Sigh....
Peace kid. Rest in peace!

7. oh no

I just got into Greenville to work and it seems so close and so sad


I will say it again though... we can't afford too much sorrow... we must let the anger free to attack our gun culture and dysfunctional society so it doesn't keep happening

8. While NRA clinged to guns, Jacob Hall clinged to life, but lost the battle. Peace. . . nt

I wish this sweet child could come back and be a voice against gun violence. Meanwhile the responsibility falls on the rest of us.
