The family of a 6-year-old boy shot at a South Carolina elementary school says a funeral is planned Wednesday, a week after he was shot as a first-grade class left for recess.
The family of Jacob Hall says the service will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Oakdale Baptist Church in Townville.
Family members tell local news outlets that pallbearers will dress as superheroes and people attending also are encouraged to wear costumes.
Jacob died Saturday after being shot at Townville Elementary school with another student and a teacher. The 14-year-old suspect also is charged with killing his father shortly before the shooting at the nearby school.
Classes are to resume Thursday. Teachers will report to work Tuesday for counseling and class preparation on Wednesday before classes resume.

how very sad we are burying 6 year olds now because someone else is sick in the head. What a sad, sad world we live in…
Its is really a sad world we live in. That is what happens when you have a corrupt government that has turned Good to Evil; and Evil to good. God help us! I pray for the family of that precious child that lost his life for no reason other than an Evil person.
Right on Ann, tell the truth and let the Lord love you!
This is what happens when prayer is taken out of the schools and they can no longer teach the simple laws of thou shall not murder or steal or lie.
Entitlement rules.
So sad that a child age six had to be a victim. The family has our prayers from Lexington Tn. So sorry for your loss, may God comfort you during this time and many years to come.
