Townville Elementary Update: Superintendent Releases Details

TOWNVILLE, S.C. (AP) – The superintendent of a South Carolina elementary school where a teen opened fire says a teacher and two students were shot as they left the building for recess.
Anderson County District 4 Superintendent Joanne Avery posted online that the shooter never entered Townville Elementary.
Authorities say the shooter opened fire Wednesday afternoon after crashing a pickup truck into the playground fence.
Avery says on the district’s website the teen shot at a door being opened for a class exiting for recess. Teachers then led the students to safety inside. She says the school was immediately put on lockdown as per district procedures.
Authorities say volunteer firefighter Jamie Brock tackled the shooter and kept him on the ground until officers arrived and arrested him. Brock says the teachers and principal should be called heroes, not him.

6 year old Jacob Hall was shot during the attack and is said to be on life support.  Family, friends and members of the community are praying for him as he fights for his life at a Greenville hospital.
