A youth football coach in St. Louis was shot four times during a practice Tuesday night by a parent who allegedly was angry that his son wasn’t getting enough playing time.
Shaquille Latimore is recovering from surgery after the attack and is in critical but stable condition. The volunteer coach told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the parent, identified as Daryl Clemmons, previously confronted him weeks ago over his son not being a starter. St. Louis police confirmed Latimore's account to USA TODAY.
According to Latimore, Clemmons kept reaching into a pocket of his sweatsuit while his back was turned to the coach. Shots were then fired at Latimore, hitting him in the leg, arm, back, and abdomen.
