St Louis Volunteer Youth Football Coach Shot By Parent

Wow! What is going on in St Louis? There’s been a lot of national news surrounding the Midwest lately.

This story is extremely tragic because this man could have lost his life trying to do the right thing by volunteering his free time to help the youth. This is so frightening because this kind of news could have a monkey see monkey do affect and safety could be an issue for coaches going forward. It definitely jeopardizes the integrity of sports.

Coach Shaquille Latimore was shot four times on Oct. 10 because a father was upset that the coach did not have his son playing as a starter on the team. He is currently recovering and says he’s grateful to be alive.

One shot is bad enough but 4 shots seems excessive with an intention to cause extreme bodily harm or death. It’s crazy out here.

Get well soon coach!
