(TNS) — Free life-saving trauma kits were donated to a South Carolina school district before the 2016 shooting that killed a 6-year-old boy there, but the kits were never delivered to school employees, a lawsuit filed by the boy’s estate alleges.

The wrongful death lawsuit was filed in Anderson County Circuit Court by the estate of 6-year-old Jacob Hall, who died after the September 2016 shooting at Townville Elementary School that injured another student and a teacher. Named as defendants are Anderson School District 4 and the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.

In early 2014, a company called Tactical Medical Solutions offered to provide bleeding-control trauma kits — also known as “Stop the Bleed” kits — along with training on how to use the kits, to each Anderson County school district, according to the complaint. The company’s co-owner presented the kits to the district superintendents and Taylor Jones, director of Anderson County Emergency Management.
