(CNN) - A 6-year-old boy wounded during a shooting at a South Carolina elementary school this week has died, his mother said Saturday.

Jacob Hall was hit in a femoral artery and a massive blood loss led to a major brain injury. He died Saturday, Renae Hall wrote on Facebook.

"You are dead to me by God you are my angel and now as I lay here and Watch the Life leave your body it reminds me of how honored I was to have you in my life," she wrote in her post.

A family statement added thanks to doctors and the community. It said Jacob was an example of "pure love."

6. What's disgusting is school shootings don't seem to be big news anymore

It's not shocking enough and people are getting used to them I think. It has the be a mass shooting to be big news and even then it is the same old story... too bad it happened, but nothing we can do about it... moving on.
