Former Student Killed Coach

In Time Magazine i read an article about a former high school football player who killed his coach. This incident in Parkersburd, Iowa ( 80 miles northeast of Des Moines) on Wednesday morning around 8 am. Mark Becker (the student) shot Ed Thomas (the coach) shot the coach with a hand gun numerous times. Thomas was rushed to the near by hospital where he died. There were several students in the building when the shooting happened. No one else was harmed. Becker was charged with first degree murder.
This is a really sad story. My heart goes out to the families involved and students that witnessed this happening.

  1. This is such a sad story. On the news they had a t.v. interview about the coach and what a wonderful human being he was. I really feel sad for the students who had to wintness this horrible act.
