Funeral services are set Friday at 1 p.m. at the Ellyson Mortuary in Glenville for 10-year-old Colby Lee Pritt.

Deputies responded to a home along Highway 47 West in Troy at approximately 9 a.m. and were told that the boy had died before they arrived on scene.

The Gilmer County Sheriff says the boy was accidentally shot in the head by a rifle.
