Tragedy in Iowa ...

Earlier today, an Iowa head football coach, Ed Thomas, was shot and killed by a former player while he supervised a summer workout session in the weight room. Thomas had been a head football coach for 37 years, with the last 34 coming at Aplington-Parkersburg High School. The coach, who was widely revered in the state, also suffered a hardship last year when his house was destroyed by an F-5 tornado that also turned the high school into rubble.

For more information on the coach and the incident, here is the link to the Cedar Rapids Gazette
