Saturday night he was arrested for assault and damage with a baseball bat, he was taken to a psyc ward with instructions that the dept. be notified prior to his release, Tuesday he was released with out dept. knowledge, and you just know that somehow the sad events of Wednesday morning will be all about guns.

I feel for the family, the community and all the players this great man helped and those he won't be able to help.  However, I can feel my blood pressure rising knowing what is coming down the political pipe over this tragedy.

I read one account in the Cedar Rapids Gazette that identified the weapon as a handgun, but surprisingly almost 10 hours after the fact, I have yet to hear anyone blame the gun.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of both the fallen coach, and the nutjob who took his life.
