ESPN Ed Thomas shot, killed inside school -ESPN Rise FOOTBALL: "PARKERSBURG, Iowa -- Ed Thomas, who has produced four NFL linemen as the football coach at tiny Aplington-Parkersburg High, was shot and killed Wednesday inside the school's weight room, authorities said.
The gunman, identified by authorities as 24-year-old Mark Becker, shot Thomas multiple times just before 8 a.m. local time, authorities said. About 50 students were in the school, including several in the weight room, at the time. School was not in session, and no one else was injured in the attack.
Aplington-Parkersburg is the alma mater of four current NFL players -- Casey Wiegmann of the Denver Broncos; Jared DeVries of the Detroit Lions; Brad Meester of the Jacksonville Jaguars; and Aaron Kampman of the Green Bay Packers. All played for Thomas." And 3 of the 4 were Hawkeyes...
Unbelievable, horrible news for the Iowa community this morning!!! AP High School was hit by a tornado last year and this year another tragedy. ESPN did a special last year on Coach Thomas and the football team after the Tornado leveled Parkersburg. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Thomas family and the Parkersburg community!
