(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."
