A GoFundMe page set up by a family friend of a 6-year-old vctimJacob Hall, passed the $55,000 mark in just about 24 hours. That number includes a $5,000 donation from the GoFundMe team. Hall was airlifted to Greenville Memorial Hospital Wednesday after authorities say a 14-year-old gunman opened fire on a playground at the school. Another student and a teacher were injured. Authorities say the gunman also killed his father before going to the nearby school.
Townville Elementary School is in Anderson School District 4 along with three other elementary schools, one middle school and one high school.
Students and faculty from those schools are also sending support. LaFrance Elementary is holding a voluntary hat day on Friday. Students, teachers and staff can wear hats to school if they donate a dollar for the victims of the shooting.
