Jacob had been on life support at Greenville Memorial Hospital. His family said in a statement released Thursday that because of the amount of blood he'd lost, he suffered a major brain njury.

A \"bullet ripped through little Jacob's femoral artery,\" a major artery located in the thigh, wrote South Carolina Rep. Alan Clemmons on his Facebook page Wednesday. Clemmons noted that Jacob was a nephew of \"dear friends\" of his.

The 14-year-old suspect in the shooting outside the elementary school was charged Friday with one count of murder in the death of his father and three counts of attempted murder.

A judge in Townville agreed to detain the teen pending his trial, saying there was enough evidence in the case to hold him. He has not yet entered a plea.
