Aaron Kampman's HS Coach shot and killed at high school..

 

I know this is slightly off topic but I felt it had a home here on the Packers page, but Kampman's (and 3 other currently NFL players) HS coach Ed Thomas was shot and killed this morning inside the school weight room. The suspect is a former Parkersburg student and also a former player for Thomas. It's a very sad day for everyone associated with high school athletics or just associated with the man himself.

I live in Iowa (only about 40 mins away from Parkersburg) and i'm stil just in shock and sick over this. Below is a link.

This is too bad, it seems he cared for people and his town in general.

Just a horrible horrible story.

This is horrible

I just heard about this on ESPN. I can’t imagine being one of the players in the weight room, witnessing my coach get shot. My prayers go out to all the families effected by this horrible event.

Absolutely disgusting

It seems like bad things almost always happen to good people.
