John Beam, the celebrated Bay Area football coach who rose to national prominence on Netflix's Last Chance U, was critically wounded in a shooting at Laney College on Thursday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The attack triggered a campus-wide lockdown and rattled a community that has long regarded Beam as a mentor, educator, and father figure to thousands of young athletes. Authorities say the shooter fled the scene, and police are now conducting a large-scale manhunt as concern for Beam's condition continues to grow.
