A public funeral for Reynolds High School freshman Jared Padgett began at 2:30 p.m. Monday in Gresham.

The 15-year-old shot and killed a classmate and wounded a teacher before killing himself at the Troutdale school last Tuesday.

His parents have said they're devastated by what their son did and have apologized to the family of Emilio Hoffman, 14, the boy who died. Padgett stole an AR-15 rifle from home and took it on the bus to school in a guitar case. It appeared Hoffman surprised Padgett in the boys locker room as he was putting on a vest carrying hundreds of rounds of ammunition and taking out the rifle.

The service for Padgett is being held at the Church of Latter-Day Saints, 3600 S.E. 182nd Ave. in Gresham. The family attends the Hartley Park Ward, which meets at the Gresham church.
